A Modern Take on Romeo and Juliet Hits the Vogue World: London Stage

[crowd cheering] [crowd clapping]

But soft!

What light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east and Juliet is the sun.

Do you see how she leans her cheek upon her hand?

Would I wear a glove upon that hand

that I might touch that cheek?

Oh, Romeo.

Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love

and I ll no longer be a Capulet.

Well, I take thee I word,

but call me but love and I ll be new baptized.

Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

What man art thou that thus be screened in night

so stumblest on my counsel?

Are thou not Romeo and a Montague?

Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.

How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?

The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,

and the place death, considering who thou art,

if any of my kinsmen find thee here.

With love s light wings did I o erperch these walls,

for stony limits cannot hold love out.

And what love can do, that dares love attempt.

Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.

[Woman] Whoo!

Let s go clubbing

Romeo! Romeo!

In vain I have struggled, but it will not do.

My feelings will not be repressed.

You must allow me to tell you

how ardently I admire and love you.

I can listen no longer.

I must speak to you from the ways

in which I can you pierce my soul.

Damn, you spoiled creature.

I shan t make you love me any the more than I already do.

But please, Juliet.
