Prologue and Scene 1

Prologue

Two groups of students, one in black the other white

At City Arts and Tech High, Where we lay our scene

From recent grudges, rivalry exists,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From here come the fatal loins of these two enemies

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life

Will their death end the others feud

The fearful passage of their gang’s rage

Which would cost their children’s lives

This is what you now will watch

Scene 1 {Gregory, Sampson, Abram, Friend, Principal, Benvolio, Tybalt, two attendants, onlookers}

[Courtyard, Sampson & Gregory of the Scorpions are chilling]

GREGORY

Man, all this fighting isn’t about us. I don’t even know where it comes from.

SAMPSON

Hit first think later, that’s what I say.

GREGORY

Ain’t no reason for all that.

SAMPSON

Hey, I’m going to get them before they get me.

[Abram & another Joker enter the courtyard and walk by Gregory and Sampson]

GREGORY

I don’t think so

[Abram and Grogory start pushing each other]

BENVOLIO

Break it up, you don’t want to do this!

TYBALT [enter, heads towards Benvolio]

What are you doing, pulling a blade on these two?

Back it up, let’s go! [pulls out his blade]

BENVOLIO

Bruh, all I’m doing is keeping the peace.

TYBALT

Blade out and talking peace, right. I hate the word,

As I hate hell and all Scorpions, and you... bruh!

[They begin to go at each other knives drawn]

PRINCE [enters with attendants and grabs knives away from them]

Punks and fools, enemies of education!

If you ever draw weapons on campus again,

You shall pay with your lives! That means dead!

CHORUS
Two households, both alike in dignity, families, rank
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, rivalry, outbreaks, fighting
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. civilian

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life, doomed
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows unfortunate, pitiful, downfall
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife. end, fighting
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, doomed
