The Rehearsal
Today’s rehearsal is for stage directions.
Romeo enter door 4, Juliet you through door 7 quick kiss exit door 1.
Mercutio enter door 5 call for Romeo, exit door 2.
Juliet poisoned collapse in front of door 2, Romeo stabbed stagger & fall next to Juliet
Nurse & Mercutio enter door 3 & weep.
All clear now ? It’ll be fine on the night !

Shakespeare scholars will debate the authenticity of the newly discovered version of the play revealed by this performance, with “Ooops!” as a frequent line and “Slams door.” as a frequent stage direction.
