Wedding through Mercutio's Death (Romeo and Juliet)

The Wedding Scene through to Mercutio's Death from Gaudete Academy's 2008 production of "Romeo and Juliet."

I've included the wedding scene (rather than just going straight to the awesome fight choreographed by Tybalt and Mercutio) so that the bit about Juliet's scarf makes sense (Romeo gets it from Juliet at the wedding instead of exchanging rings...'cause a wedding ring would be pretty obvious, but a scawf? Um, never?)

um, what was the situation that happend at the end?

[gaudete]

Nothing, actually. Basically, in the other versions I'd seen of R&J I realized that most audiences come for two deaths and a balcony scene. The thing is, there are two deaths smack dab in the middle, and if they're back-to-back in the play (or worse, if intermission happen after both), the audience tends to lose a little interest for the second act. So we divided up the scene, made it look like something actually happened, and the second half began with Tybalt's death and Romeo's banishment.
