WHAT IS THEATRE LIT?

Shakespeare
Extract selected at ARROW VALE
This is the Prologue to Romeo and Juliet. It comes at the very start of the play and is directed out to the audience. It is like a summary or introduction telling the audience what will happen. The style is big and bold and is best done using multiple voices.
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;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
