Act 1 Scenes 2-7

Nobody knew why Romeo was so dreary, so Lady Mantague told Benvolio to find out. Romeo told Benvolio that he was in love with a girl named Rosaline. Meanwhile, Paris asked Lord Capulet for permission to marry Juliet. Lord Capulet said that Juliet was to young, but if she fell in love with him, he would give his permission. He told him that he should woo Juliet at the upcoming party he was throwing. Juliet was approached by her mother about falling in love with Paris. Romeo, Benvolio, and another Montague, Mercurio went to the party uninvited. At the party, Romeo and Juliet fell in love.

As a director I would have to make sure the actors acted their parts seriously. I would want them to show the appropriate emotions. We don't want our gloomy Romeo smiling, or making his sulkiness look sarcastic. I would have to make sure that the dance scene was handled so it looked like a modern day dance, but kept the formal flare.
