The Boy Romeo

Looking out over the Ocean he sucks on the last of a cigarette and then writes intensely in a small worn note book.

ROMEO WRITES:

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs; Being Purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being Vixed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking call and preserving sweet.



The Girl Juliet

The still, severe, submerged features of a beautiful young girl. Dark floating hair gently frames the face. Heavy liquid eyes stare up through the water.

We hear, though faintly, the calling; JULIET!

With a rush JULIET surfaces. As she gulps air, we realise that she is in fact, In a bath.

We Hear the calling loudly again.

JULIET

Juliet listens, for a moment she is very still, then she closes her eyes and slides back beneathe the surface of the water.
