The Proposal of Romeo and Juliet

Theme:

The adaptation will be a thriller that Juliet does not want to marry Paris, but she cannot argue with her dad.  Therefore, she makes a big conspiracy to refuse the marriage and leave the family, and Romeo's love is her method to get the purpose.

Scene: 

1.  Juliet did want to marry Paris, but she cannot prevent the marriage.  
2.  She feels helpless, but her pain stops in the party.  The reason is that she sees Romeo in the party.
3.  Therefore, she tempts Romeo to fall in love.  Romeo falls into a trap.  In addition, she drags Romeo to pass by Tybalt on purpose to cause the direct conflict.
4.  The story goes what the original storyline is.  (we can act out some of these scenes or use the narrator to explain the story.)
5.  Juliet wants to use someone's death to transport everyone's focus from her marriage.  Therefore, at that night when Romeo kills Tybalt, Juliet send Nurse away so that she can run away from the house.  However, Romeo comes too quickly to let Juliet escape.  The plan fails.
6.  Juliet wants Romeo to take her away, but Lady Caplet comes in time.  The second plan fails.
7.  Before the marriage night, Juliet goes to Lawrence and ask for a fake potion.  She remembers once Romeo tells her that Lawrence is good at making medicines.
8.  After the effect of the potion, Juliet wakes up, and she finds Romeo and Paris are both dead.
9.  Now, no one will miss her, and no one will force her to have marriage.  She has freedom.
10.  She leaves.  She is not going back to her family.

Characters:
1.  Juliet
2.  Romeo
3.  (Tybalt)
4.  (Mercutio)
5.  Paris

Setting:
The settings are changing.  There are bedroom scene, dance pool and the scene of a church.  We can set the scenes in the black box because the outside backgrounds are easy to confuse people where the story take place.  The difficulties are that this play contains so many pieces of the scenes, and it also requires to record the small emotion expressions.  The scenes happen at night.

Music:
     I would love to use the pop music or R&B music in the play instead of classical music.  The music should contain the lyrics, and because the love in the play is a conspiracy, then the music should be more sarcastic and crazy.
