Romeo and Juliet - Episode 2 - Queen Mab Hath Been With You
Description
Juliet’s nurse and mother share fond memories of Juliet’s early childhood but the mood changes when Lady Capulet tells her daughter to consider Paris as a suitor at that evening’s feast. Meanwhile, Mercutio and Benvolio try to get Romeo in better spirits as they prepare to crash the Capulet’s party. Once the household completes its feverish preparations, Lord Capulet welcomes all his guests to the party. Romeo spots the beautiful Juliet across the crowded room and asks one of the revelers for her name. Tybalt, Juliet’s quick-tempered cousin, recognizes Romeo’s voice and seethes with rage. Hoping to avoid any further unrest, Lord Capulet scolds Tybalt into submission but Tybalt quietly vows to get his revenge. Romeo greets Juliet with a song, which she joins in duet. The two are smitten, but when Romeo finds out that Juliet is a Capulet and Juliet finds out Romeo is a Montague, they reluctantly go their separate ways.
