Prologue

Dedicated to: NeverEndingFanfics

Narrator:

Two households both alike in dignity,
In fair Sky City (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-crossed lovers take their life:
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows,
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-marked 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

This story is about fair Jess (Juliet) and her handsome Lukas (Romeo)...

Modern English Translation:

The play is set in beautiful Sky City (Verona).
Two families of equal, noble rank [the Montagues and the Capulets]
have a long-standing vendetta, which has recently flared up: their followers have killed each other in civil strife. The children of these mortal enemies were fated to fall in love; their tragic deaths end their parents' feud.

The subject of our two-hour play is the distressing story of their fatal love affair, the course of their parents' quarrel, and the resolution of this bitterness by their deaths.

If you will give us your patient attention, we'll make up for any shortcomings by performing as well as we can.

This story is based on fair Jess (Juliet) and her handsome Lukas (Romeo)...

Author's Note-
Yes, I know what you're all thinking when you read one of the sentences said by the Narrator. Don't worry, this won't end bad...

There, that was a give away..

And this will be written in our world today, English...

The cast will be next and tell me what you think if who I put were correct in those spaces..
