AUDIOPLAY
SCENE ELEVEN – THE CAPULET VAULT
Juliet sleeps. Romeo enters.
| Romeo | Oh, my wife! |
He takes out some poison.
| Romeo | Eyes look your last! Here’s to my love. |
He drinks the poison and dies.
The friars enter. They see Romeo dead.
Juliet wakes up.
| Juliet | Where is my Romeo? |
| Friar John | Your husband lies dead. |
Juliet shakes Romeo desperately.
The nightguards approach.
| Nightguards | Left, right, left, right. Left, right, left, right. |
| Friar Lawrence | Come away before the nightguards come. |
| Juliet | You go, I am staying here. |
| Nightguards | Left, right, left, right. Left, right, left, right. |
The friars leave.
Juliet sees the poison.
| Juliet | What’s here? A cup closed in my true love’s hand? Poison I see hath been his timeless end. Thy lips are warm. |
She takes out Romeo’s dagger.
| Juliet | Oh, happy dagger… This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die. |
She stabs herself. She dies.
The nightguards, Capulets, Montagues, and the ruler enter.
| NIGHTGUARDS | Left, right, left, right, hurry. |
| Capulets | Who goes there? |
| Montagues | What is going on? |
| Ruler | Capulet, Montague… see what your hate brings you. |
| Lady Capulet/Montague | Our children are no more. |
| Lord Capulet/Montague | Brother, give me your hand. |
| Chorus | The sun for sorrow will not show his head For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and Romeo. |
FINAL SONG
Star crossed lovers take their life
Burying their parents’ strife
And with their death these houses see
There is another way to be
From this day on, in peace they go
For Juliet and Romeo.
Don’t forget! Don’t forget!
Oh Montague! Oh Capulet!
And tell this dreadful tale of woe
For Juliet and Romeo.
Don’t forget! Don’t forget!
Oh Montague! Oh Capulet!
And tell the world for they must know
Of Juliet and Romeo.
