Day 5
Romeo enters the stage. The most famous lover in history. (apart from Rocco...) We meet him for the first time in this most eternal of love stories. And he has been struck by the deadly poison of Love, and the object of his affection is of course - Rosalind.
He cant sleep, cant eat, cant feel, cant live - for love.
Like this one
(I really dont know which is worse, to watch the woman in the room singing, with forlorn loooks on their faces, along with this non-existant subway romance or watching the singer picking out which girl he is going to nail in the dressing room after the show)
And here Shakespeare presents his lover as in love - with different woman than she - which the piece is named after. Brilliant or nuts?
I explained to the actor that this did not make any sense and would thus be cut. No reason to make this story more complex than she is.
Boy meets girl. girls like boy. Boy wants fun. Girl is willing. Problem with physico families. They get it off anyway. A lot of young men die. Romeo and Julia are seperated for a day. They die.
Actor liked my angle.
