Desperation - the killer of love

In the project, I'm going to talking about how desperation influenced and changed the love between Romeo and Juliet. I would like to show the audiences a different thinking about Romeo and Juliet's love that they didn't love each other that deeply but they have no choice other than death. Since they were really young and naïve, they were too impulsive to chose the death with out carefully think about that. However, their love were actually fragile that it was easily to change by the outside influence. Thus, I'm going to show the various in their love by the analysis and the performance.

I'm going to chose both of the balcony scenes of Romeo and Juliet. The first one is Act 2 scene 1 when they first made sure that they loved each other to show their love at first. The second of is Act 3 scene 5, which right after Romeo and Juliet had their first night of marriage in desperation and separation. From those scenes, people would see their love changed from firm to variable that they loved each other and didn't want to leave in the first scene but Romeo did long to leave Juliet in the second one because of the indefinite future. In the scene, I will highlight the part in the first one that they left but come back again and again to show how they love each other firstly by the facial expression and excited voice. I will highlight the desperate and panic of Romeo and Juliet in the second one.

The scene needs two people. I'm going to be Romeo in this scene. It might be a challenge to be Romeo since I never tried to be one of the lovers before. However, I think I will try my best to understand the feeling of Romeo in the scene. To ensure both of us have equal works, we would edit the script together and have equal lines of talk. We will try really hard to make both the characters livable and true.
