Chorus: [chorus appears on stage alone]

Take a seat, one and all and prepare yourselves!

For here we see a modern twist of young Romeo & Juliet's love

Staged on a gazebo on a porch

Our drama unfolds….

[Exit chorus]

[Enter Juliet in 'gazebo']

Juliet: Romeo! Hey boy hey!

Where are you?

[Enter Romeo, from out of the shadows]

Romeo: Juliet!

Ah… what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east! And Juliet is the sun.

Juliet: Why are you talking that way?

Romeo: I thought it would be romantical!

Juliet: And what kind of word is romantical?

Romeo: [Says confidently]

A made up one.

Juliet: What have I told you about making up words?

Romeo: [Hangs head]

To not to.

Juliet: Good, Romeo.

[Pats Romeo on the head]

Romeo: Juliet!

Have you spoken to your parents?

Juliet: Why, of course!

I speak to them all the time.

[Chuckles to herself]

Romeo: But have you spoken to them about us?

Juliet: Not yet

Romeo: [whines]

Why not???????

Juliet: You know very well why!

How could my parent's accept that I am dating you?

Your grandparents were in Ringling Brothers circus,

While mine were in Cole brothers Circus!

Romeo: Oh, yes I remember

The biggest rival of Ringling Brothers was the Cole Brothers

Juliet: Now do see why I can't tell them?

Romeo: [pauses]

Not really…

Juliet: Oh Romeo!!

You are thick, aren't you?

Romeo: Thick what?

Juliet: Thick headed!

[Throws hands up]

You're useless.

Romeo: [lip trembles]

That's so mean!

Juliet: I'm sorry Romeo, honey.

[Romeo's cell buzzes and he takes it from his pocket and begins to text someone. Nurse comes outside and calls Juliet]

Nurse: Juliet!

Juliet: [To Romeo]

Brb!

[Walks over to nurse]

Yes, Nurse?

Nurse: It is time for you to take your medication.

Juliet: But I don't need it!

Nurse: [looks confused]

Why?

Juliet: Because I already overdosed today!

[Walks back to Romeo]

[Nurse looks shocked, but she goes back inside]

Juliet: So, Romeo, like I said before…

I'm sorry I called you thick headed

Romeo: Sure you're sorry.

Juliet: I am!

You know I love you.

Romeo: [Texting]

Mhhm… I love you too.

Juliet: Who are you texting?

Romeo: [Still texting]

Rosaline.

Juliet: WHAT!?!?!?

[Slaps Romeo and runs inside]

Romeo: [calls Rosaline]

Hey Rosaline, watcha doing tonight?

[Walks away]
