----
Note:
***You can double cast***

----
And just for a clear direction and advice for the "play",

This is a Mabinogi-related play, so include some mabinogi twists such as instead of this story being set in Verona, make it Emain Macha (other other Erinn towns), or even for the balcony scene, maybe it could take place in the tailteann towers (or emain watch tower) etc... just be creative and go all-out!

Also, we have to be clear about HOW we tell the story.
I was thinking of having a narrator voice out the settings of the story, like "This is a story... a tragedy of two star-crossed lovers and it takes place in a town called Emain Macha.."
We will have the "actors" act the scenes and I will add subtitles to them.

We will also need props!!!
This is estimated to take several weeks. Have patience and let's see how this comes out =D Good luck to all of us =]


***PLEASE READ, ESPECIALLY YUIE AND CONCEPT PEOPLE***
Just contributing important themes for the play.
The stage will be all of Erinn. This is a Mabinogi version of Romeo and Juliet. Although we will keep the names Romeo and Juliet, we can improvise on some things.
I was thinking something along the lines of:
Juliet being in the Elven family Capulets.
Romeo in the Giant family Montagues, and that's why they hav been fighting for ages and are mortal enemies =P

Also, keep in mind that this is how the original story is told. Try to almost summarize this and keep the most exciting parts, and improvise.
1. Montague and Capulet's brawl
-fight scene
-prince declaring that if there is to be any more disturbances caused because of their brawl, punishment will be death.
2. Romeo declaring his love for Rosaline.
3. Paris declaring love for Juliet (wants to get married to Juliet)
-Capulet decide to provide a party for the two
4. Romeo and Juliet's meeting for the first time and their flirt.
- of course, they find out each other's identity after the party
5. Romeo's transpass into Orchart where Juliet is leaning out of her window
- make clear of their love, and the decision of their marriage the next day is made.
6. Romeo and Juliet gets married at night time.
7. Tybalt kills Mercutio in a duel when Romeo tried to stop the fight. Romeo is outraged and kills Tybalt in the second duel. Romeo flees.
8. Prince banishes Romeo. If he is to be found in Verona, he is to be killed.
-famous quote "I am a fotune's fool" -Romeo
9. Juliet wishes to spend their first and last night with Romeo. Nurse finds Romeo at Fiar Lawrence'sand tell him the news. Back at the Capulet's the Capulets assume Juliet will obey them and plan Paris and Juliet's wedding that thursday.
10. Romeo and Juliet wake from bed together. Romeo leaves when the Nurse enters and states that the lady Capulet is on her way up.
-Lady Capulet tells Juliet about the marriage but Juliet refuses, lord Capulet enters and threatens that she will marry Paris whether she likes it or not. Juliet looks to her mother for help but she refuses.
11. Juliet goes to see Friar Lawrence for help and tells him that if she cannot avoid the wedding she would rather die.
-Friar tells of the potion that would make her seem dead. (would put her in 42 hours of deep sleep). The Capulets will think she is dead and put her in a tomb.
12. Next day Capulets discover Juliet's death and mournfull prepare for funeral.
13. Romeo hears of this and heads to Verona, buying poison from an Apothecary in Mantua, wishing to die with his wife.
14. Friar Lawrence finds out that Friar john could not deliver the news to Romeo in Mentua because of threat of plague.
-Friar Lawrence asks for a crowbar to sneak into Juliet's tomb.
15. Romeo comes to Juliet's tomb and sees Paris guarding it. They engage in duel and Romeo kills Paris. Romeo sees Juliet in her tomb, praises her beauty even in death, kisses her and drinks the poison. Friar Lawrence comes in, Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead. Friar hears people coming, and flees. Juliet kills herself with a dagger. Capulet and Montague realize their faults and end their dispute.

Well, I was writing the play and I had a idea that we could do a trailer like in movies, just a short one. I was looking for a song for the trailer if we did it and I thought Kiss from a rose would fit it perfectly :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzzTMKm1zlI&feature=related

And since we're doing Romeo and Juliet "Path" style I thought of instead of forbidden love it could be "Undying Love". Basicaly, that after they die, they would reincarnate into two different people and fall back inlove. But if your up with the trailer idea then I would need Benvolio (Keiseru), The Nurse, Prince Escalus, Juliet, and Friar John. Please reply~ :I


And I think ( since no one els wants to do it ) I'll do the narrater's job too. :Y
Nevermind my other song, I found the instrumental version of it and i think it sbetter : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h2sn31RlQ8
yea i'm cool

Umm i could have narrorated, But i suggest to get a group of people to narroate the opening and then choise the best one. (exp theres no call backs. :) )
This is one reason I think the actors should have voice. Plus, we could use voice synthcisers if need be. (for multiple ppl.)
@Pure Sure, but u still going to be the nurse :Y Also Ben is actually part of Romeos family, from what I remeber he is the nephew of Montague and Lady Montague. (gotta love it when they dont tell us there first names...)

Two households, both alike in dignity
In Emain Macha, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star crossed lovers take their life
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents strife.
The fearful passage of their death marked love
And the continuance of their parents rage
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove
Is now the two hours traffic of our stage
The which if you with patient ears attend
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

I Shall forever hate my sis, school, and collage for getting this prologe stuck in my head.

From my stand point right now... Yes. Maybe. I guess it depends, but a robe should be easy to get right? Director (rimi) what do you think?
Also because of recent events I had to post this here. At least for the time being.

That would be tybalt... I am however going to say it would be impossible to fight yourself xD (Tybalt vs Ben) romeo has 2 fights Ben has 1 Paris has 1 Mar has 1 and Tybalt has 3.

If you want to be another fighting character I would suggest Paris.

So, Tybalt is like the antagonist in Romeo and Juliet? (Sorry only know that
their parents don't approve the couple and R 'n' J both died in the end.)
Rim if you don't mind can you change my second character from Friar to Paris?

If I had to assign bad guys and good guys... the men who work for Montigue are bad just because the start a fight for no reason. Tybalt is bad cause he is just bad. Lord Cap I would also classify as evil for first saying he 'cares' for his daughter then forces her to marry. Paris shall be nuetral just because he is ignorant and has almost no clue what is really happening.

To awnser your question. Yes Tybalt is the Bad guy who meets an untimely end. xD

okay since Yuie and silver are both kinda silent about this project, I will propose my idea and let you guys improvise it. The speech is only a segment of what's really going to be there. I'm just suggesting a kind of language here haha... mostly mabi related.

This is Part 1

Juliet Capulet of Fillia
Romeo Mortague of Vales

The elves (Capulets) and giants(Mortagues) were in conflict... as long as anyone can rememer..
Whenever they crossed paths, everyone knew there would be a brawl. One day, Erinn's Prince declared that another disturbance caused by the EvG conflict would result in a punishment... of DEATH.

Mean while, in Vales, Romeo is looking distressed and so his friend Benvolio asks him why. Apparenly, Romeo is in love with Rosaline Capulet and she would not accept his affection for her.
Romeo: She wouldn't accept my friend request...
Benvolio: Maybe her list is full?
Romeo: Nah.. she said she blacklisted me.

In Fillia, on the other hand, Paris tells Lord Capulet that he wants to marry Juliet. Lord Capulet is delighted and promises to open a party to make a place for the two of them (but tells Paris that he must wait two years since Juliet is only 14).
Lord Capulet: Juliet is only 14.. you can marry her in 2 weeks.


At the party (Tara Rath Castle).
Romeo and his friends (Benvolio and Mercutio(?)) are able to sneak into the party. Tybalt hears Romeo's voice and attempts to start a fight but Lord Capulet stops them, saying no blood shall shed at his home. At the dance, Romeo and Juliet meet and immediately fall in love. They flirt a little before the Nurse comes in and Romeo is forced to leave. Nurse identifies Romeo as one of the Montagues, and Romeo's friends tell Romeo and Juliet is indeed the daughter of Lord Capulet..

Dispite their family's dispute, Romeo cannot help himself but sneak into Juliet's orchard to see her... he sees that Juliet is also thinking about Romeo and he shows himself. Juliet is mad a first for him trespassing but they are made clear that they do love each other and promise to get married the next day.

They are wed secretly by Friar Lawrence at the Tara Chapel.
Juliet: Don't skip the cutscene..
Romeo: ....fine.

Mercutio and Benvolio encounter Tybalt. Romeo enters scene and Tybalt clearly wants to fight Romeo but Romeo is reluctant and does not recognize him as enemy and tries to settle this peacefully. Mercutio is outraged and engages in a duel with Tybalt.
Mercutio: Accept my request!
Tybalt: Gladly..!!
Mercutio: 5%, Noob
Tybalt: .. >_> .... Fine.
Tybalt kills Mercutio.
Romeo: Mercutio!!
Mercutio: .........noob. *dies*'
Romeo: NOOOOoooo
Romeo goes after Tybalt and kills him in a duel then flees.
