Prologue

Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;

Whose misadventured...

Wait a minute [re-reading the lines]...

No, no, no. They do not die! This – this is Shakespeare's version! Ooops. Sorry. One sec [shuffling through papers]... and here it is!

In modern day Verona Beach,

Two equally rich and powerful families

Are fighting over the title of the best.

Their mutiny comes from many years ago,

And murder follows each.

But will their only children,

A pair of star-crossed lovers,

Break the ice between

The two households, both alike in dignity?
