Direction in Small Group 2: Act 4 Scene 2

In act 4 scene 2 many directional decisions were made withing our group as to how we should perform the scene. First and foremost was the enterance to the room and our initial positions in relation to eachother. We entered in the order most common of that time period, the king and his wife entered first followed by the servingman and the nurse (which also happened to be very near the order of lines in the play). Once entered, Capulet stood the closest to the audience with his wife to his side but slightly behind him and the servingman and the nurse slightly behind them to show the definate class structure. Then the king and the servingman had a short conversation and with the kings dismissal the servingman leaves and short after Juliet enters. During the conversation between Capulet and Juliet, Juliet is facing Capulet on her knees at one point to show her plee. All of these decisions were made to accurately represent how a kings household most likely would have been and shows the order of importance of each person with in it.
