Hello every one. A friend of mine and I are going to work on a parody/new version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet. So far, I've only done the prologue; hope it's not too pitiful! (And don't worry; it is going to be fixed. I just wanted to put something out there!)
c1 is the chorus member who recites the correct prologue.
chorus enters
c1: Two houses, both alike in dignity…
c2: you mean they both have their snooty rich noses stuck up in the air at the same height…
c3: stop interrupting!
C1:flustered In fair Verona, where we do lay our scene…
C2: yeah, I've been to Verona. What a nice vacation spot!
C3:glares at C2 no, silly, Verona is where the play takes place!
C1: From ancient grudge break new mutiny…
C2: those people are fighting again? How long can they keep bickering? rolls eyes
C1: Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean…
C3:shakes head and sighs the whole town is a part of the fighting…
C2: when will these people learn already?
C1: From forth the fatal loins of these two foes…looks around, realizes that he is not going to be interrupted, and smiles A pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives…gets caught up in the moment and sighs dreamily
C3: those poor kids…it was all in the hands of fate…
C2: the bozos didn't have to kill themselves though…
C1: Whose misadventure piteous overthrows, Doth with their death bury their parent's strife
C2: whats with this? Only their death could get their parents to stop fighting? Lemme at 'em….glares around audience
C1: the fearful passage of their death-marked love, and the continuance of their parent's rage, which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
C2: LEMME AT 'EM! Those…those….only their children's death could stop the fighting? I don't believe it.
C3: adults trying to lay the blame on their children…I'm ashamed!
C1: is now the two hour's traffic of our stage;
C2: TWO HOURS? I'm not sitting two hours for your play!
C1: the which if you with patient ears attend, what here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
C2: oh that's nice. If we weren't listening, its going to take 2 hours to re-tell it? goes of grumbling
C3: enjoy the show!
