PROLOGUE
Enter CHORUS
CHOR. Why am I the chorus? I don't sing. I don't dance. I'm supposed to talk, in silly little iambic pentameter—and rhyme! Do you know what it's like to have to speak in rhymes? Oh, it's terrible business. But back to the point—I shouldn't be the chorus! The narrator, maybe, but not the chorus. You know, that's it. I'm off to speak to the writer.
Exeunt CHORUS
Re-enter CHORUS
CHOR. Fine, fine, I'll do it! Sings.
There once were two families who fought a lot
They never did get along
But their children—oh, both were so hot
And soon things started to go wrong
They were both idiots and killed themselves
Their parents never fought again
The feud was put on the families shelves
And Shakespeare this story did pen
This story will take two hours of your time
But you now know everything because of this rhyme!
Exeunt CHORUS
