Chapter 18 - Romeo & Juliet Performance
Charlotte meets her boyfriend with an invitation in her hand.
" What's in your hand Charlotte?"
" This is for you and your mum. I want two of you to come to see our performance tonight."
" Of course Charlotte, we will come. I'll be there on time."
" Please come to backstage after the show Zachary, I want you to be part of our celebration also."
" Is it OK?!"
" Yes Zachary, they already know about you. You loved to come to our rehearsals."
" Did you invite Mr. Zachary Jake and his teams?"
" Yes, they already have the invitation, Zachary. I hope all is well."
" I believe they will help to clear the area. Since the murderer still free, I can't let something bad happens to you. Especially, they still hunting Ryan. It means, Ryan free outside there, he could do anything and everything."
" I guess he already knows that we reported him to the police officer."
" I believe so Charlotte, please be careful and be aware also."
" Yes Zachary, as long as you always by my side, I will feel saved and comfortable."
" I will never leave you Charlotte, this is my promise."
" Glad to know, I love you so much, Zachary. Never regret to meet and have you in my life."
" I love you too Charlotte, more than you know. Always and always."
" I must go now Zachary, they waiting for me for the final rehearsals."
" Take care love and see you around tonight."
" You too Zachary, see you tonight."

" Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding family. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequent performance plays."
The opera orchestra opening the show very nicely accompanies the dancers dance on the stage.
The dialogue between Romeo and his cousin Benvolio.
" Good morrow cousin," said Benvolio.
" Is the day so young?" Asked Romeo.
" But new struck nine Romeo."
" Ay me! Sad hours seem long. Was that my father that went hence so fast Benvolio?"
" It was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hour?"
" Not having that, which, having, makes them short."
" In love Romeo?"
" Out------."
" Of love Romeo?"
" Out of her favor, where I am in love."
The singers sing love songs to add to the romantic show.
Enter Juliet.
The dialogue between Juliet, Lady Capulet, and The Nurse.
" How now? Who calls?" Asked Juliet.
" Your mother," said the nurse.
" Madam I am here. What is your will?" Asked Juliet to Lady Capulet.
The nurse leaves awhile to give them some privacy to speak about the secret.
All out of the stage. The orchestra music continuing plays beautiful songs.
Enter Romeo and Juliet dance beautiful on the stage.
The Chorus Prologue.
" Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie, And young affection gapes to be his heir. That fair for which love groan'd for and would die. With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair. Now Romeo is beloved and loves again. Alike bet witched by the charm of looks, but to his foe supposed he must complain and she steal love's sweet bait from the fearful hook. Being held a foe, he may not have access to breathe such as vows as lovers use to swear. And she as much in love, her means much less To meet her new beloved anywhere. But passion lends them power, time means, to meet tempering extremities with extreme sweet."
Romeo climbs the wall to meet Juliet.
" O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou? 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."
" [Aside] Shall I hear more or shall I speak at this?"
" This but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would be he, not Romeo called, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, and for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself."
" I take thy at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized. Henceforth I never will be Romeo."
" What man art thou that thus is screened in the night? So stumblest on my counsel."
" By a name, I know not how to tell thee who I am. My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself because it is an enemy to thee. Had I it written, I would hear the words."
" My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words of that tongue's utterance yet I know the sound art thou, not Romeo and a Montague?"
