Juliet freezes in place onstage with her mouth agape and has to be replaced by Freddy, wearing a dress and wig. Then on opening night, the stage manager has to fill in as Romeo when the lead actor is hospitalized. Two friends, who always speak in unison, play the part of the Nurse, complete with matching modern nurse uniforms and stethoscopes. Juliet is constantly trying to upstage Romeo and insists that her death scene be obnoxiously long. Friar Lawrence recites his lines as if he is a chicken suffering from brain-freeze. “For never was a story of more woe…” A student production of Romeo and Juliet opens in just two days and the drama group is desperately trying to complete rehearsals.
Performance Time: Approximately 75-90 mins, 56 pgs.įARCE.
