In class activity-Performance

Yesterday, Ms. Guarino asked us to perform Romeo and Juliet in the class for only 1 mins, so our group start to think about how we can perform this. Initially, we start with basic ideas like what is the story and how is it end. Well, we begin with some words like Romeo, Juliet and they meet together in a party, they get married with each other at the first sight. However, Tybalt is the one who finds out the marriage, so he asks for duel, and tries to break them out, yet he died of the duel. Then, Romeo flees from the city. Juliet starts to get crazy because Romeo left, and her cousin died, and her mom wanted her to get married with Paris. As a result, she finds the apothecary to give her potion, so she can die for 2 days, after that, she can flee with Romeo to other cities. Nevertheless, Romeo doesn't know it, so when he finds out that she's died. He goes to the apothecary to get the poison to die with his lover. When he drank the poison, Juliet wakes up, and stabs herself. We made this basic story by gathering the small point. Romeo loves Juliet at the first sight, he thinks she is the only one. Well, they couldn't get together because of the enemy position, so the cycle of dying starts to happen to the two family, so they finally get friendly with each other after the death of Romeo and Juliet. However, when we started to practice yesterday, I think we should include the rival between the Capulet and Montague, so people can see how hard it is for Romeo and Juliet get together. Also, the prince came out because we also wanted to symbolize the peace of the city. We put all of the little ideas together, but I also saw other group performing theirs, and each of them have different focusing points. One group just focus on the party, and the events after that. Another group focus on when she drank potion, and all after events. I learned that we should edit and make it precisely. It is kind of confused when we add all of the characters in the play.
