These designers plan on setting the play in feudal Japan, using Karate to stage the fight. Next into the Directors’ Den are the appallingly named ‘Marshall the Arts’. How many machineguns do you have on you right now?ĭirector: No guns and no deal. Graham: At the moment we’re, we’re looking into…ĭirector 2: Answer the question. Graham: We could be gangsters with machine guns.ĭirector 2: Interesting, so how many machineguns do you actually have? How would you give this scene a modern twist?
My main concern, aside from Martha being killed, is it all seems quite traditional. They are convinced a traditional sword fight is the best way of staging the untimely death of young Mercutio, after he’s taken the place of his good friend Romeo.ĭirector 1: Graham, Graham stop! I’ve got a good feeling about you two.
įirst into the Directors’ Den are designers Graham and Martha. Today, they’re looking for innovative ways to bring to life the fight between Tybalt Capulet and Mercutio in act three, scene one of Romeo and Juliet. 12 divorces, nine lawsuits and three stints in rehab between them, these guys know what they want and they normally get it. And never was a story of more woah, than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Then their Mums and Dads turn up and agree to stop fighting. Romeo hears that Juliet has died, buys poison, goes to the tomb, thinks Juliet is dead, drinks the poison and dies! Woah! Two seconds later Juliet wakes up! Woah! Sees Romeo dead, then stabs herself. They’re all crying! The plan is foolproof, as long as the Friar’s message gets through to Romeo to tell him the plan! What?! It doesn’t?! So, Juliet drinks the Friar’s potion and it LOOKS like she’s died. He’ll give her a drug to fake her own death, she’ll get put in the Capulet tomb and wake up a day later. Juliet is heartbroken that Romeo has been banished! But the Friar has a plan. Later Tybalt – who’s Juliet’s cousin – kills one of Romeo’s buddies, Mercutio, and Romeo is so mad, he kills Tybalt. She says, “Romeo, Romeo” and they decide to get married the next day! Woah! Is this Verona or Vegas!? But wait, she’s a Capulet! Woah! After the party Romeo sneaks into the Capulet garden and sees Juliet at the balcony. Rosaline is there, but pow! Romeo instantly falls in love with Juliet. Luckily, it’s fancy dress so no one will notice they’re Montagues.
So, the Capulets throw a big party Romeo and his buddy Benvolio want to sneak in.
Woah! Not that sick! Romeo’s in love with Rosaline. Well this looks romantic… Woah! Who’s fighting?! Oh, it’s the Montagues and Capulets. They die and their families are like, “ok – timeout, let’s be pals”. Narrator: This is all about forbidden love between teenagers from families that hate each other.
