Description
On the city streets, a fight erupts between Montague and Capulet servants, drawing Benvolio, who supports the Montagues, and Tybalt, a Capulet, into the fray. Prince Escalus, infuriated by the brawl, disperses the crowd after declaring that the next man who fights in the streets will die. Romeo appears, lamenting his unrequited love for Rosaline, who never appears onstage, while Benvolio unsuccessfully tries to cheer him. Meanwhile, Lord Capulet has decided to host a party and sends his servant Peter to invite the guests. Peter is illiterate and approaches Romeo, unaware he is Montague, to read the list of names. After discovering Rosaline will be at the feast, Romeo and Benvolio resolve to attend the gathering wearing masks. At the Capulet residence, Lady Capulet instructs her daughter to pay attention to Paris, a wealthy count who would like to marry her. While Juliet is hesitant to be wooed by Paris, she obediently consents to her mother’ s wishes that she be pleasant to him during the evening's festivities. Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio are on their way to the Capulets, when they stop to hear Mercutio’ s poetical thoughts on dreams and Queen Mab, Queen of the Fairies. Once at the party, Romeo sees Juliet and, completely forgetting about Rosaline, falls deeply in love with her. Tybalt spies Romeo and is furious at the presence of of a Montague, but Lord Capulet calms Tybalt’ s urge to begin a fight. Meanwhile, Romeo and Juliet meet and talk for the first time. |
