Short script; by: Jesus Sanchez

about their daughter, and that they should already seek their love, and then
marry them, so they can continue with their lives. In the place also was Sanson,
the servant with more confidence.

-Mrs. Capulet (Sophie) : Capulet, I think it's time for our beloved Juliet to lose
love reins.

-Capulet (Andrei) : I've also been thinking about that my beloved, in fact, the
Count Paris, who will be the one who falls in love, is a good boy. And I invited
him to the party tonight.

-Mrs. Capulet (Sophie) : Then I will give the news to our daughter.

-Sanson (Cheska) : With all due respect, my gentlemen, I think you should let
your daughter choose who to marry.

-Capulet (Andrei) : It's a good idea, but we should also think about the general
family, and our well-being.

-Sanson (Cheska) : If you do that, you will be doing evil, and you will pay it with
a very high price, my lord. But it will be what you say.
Narrator: Act 2. In the patio of the house is Juliet with her nurse Ama, who are
looking at the flowers.

-Juliet (Maureen) : Oh nurse Ama, I would like to find the love of my life, and be
as beautiful as these roses.

-Ama (Kirsten) : You'll get it, surely the love of your life is thinking the same thing
at this moment.

(Enter the stage Mrs. Capulet)

-Mrs. Capulet (Sophie) : This garden is full of roses, but you are the most
beautiful, my beautiful daughter.

-Juliet (Hopeful) (Maureen) : Mother, I want to fall in love, I want to know love.

-Mrs. Capulet (Sophie) : Well, at tonight's party you will fall in love, and Count
Paris will be the one.

-Ama (Surprised) (Kirsten) : Good luck, Count Paris!

Narrator: Act 3. On the other side of the city. A few hours after the party, the
two dancers, Romeo and Mercutio, were preparing. Then they would dance
that night as entertainment at the party of the Capulets. With them was
Benvolio and Romeo's cousin, helping them to prepare.

-Romeo (Eiyo) : At tonight's party we must dance without waste, my great friend
Mercutio!

-Mercutio (Kasel) : We will dance so well that they will pay us what is due.
Remember that we are only dancers who entertain the bored!

-Romeo (Eiyo) : I know that, but that does not prevent us from having a little fun,
friend of mine. Besides... (Hopeful view) there will be my beloved Juliet.

-Mercutio (Kasel) : Eh! Romeo! Remember that Juliet is the daughter of the
Capulets, great enemies of you, the Montagues!

-Romeo (Eiyo) : Do not take my hopes away, my friend.

-Benvolio (Ros) : I think so, cousin, you should not have any illusions, our family
is the enemy of hers.

-Romeo (Eiyo) : I keep saying that you should not take my hopes away.

-Benvolio (Ros) : I'm only advising you, it would not be a good idea to join with a
Capulet, but I will not take away your crazy hopes.

-Mercutio (Kasel) : Without hope, we will remain if we do not leave soon. I only
give you one piece of advice: better not get in where you do not belong, so you
will avoid big problems, and in turn avoid great tragedies, my friend.

love is possible, I do not know what to do! You are very brave to do all this
