Romeo and Juliet: The Forgotten Act
Act 6 Scene 1
Capulets Bedroom
Capulet: Juliet! Juliet! My daughter! Nay NAY
Lady Capulet: My husband, calm! Nothing is wrong.
Your daughter tis just o’er there, asleep.
Capulet: Nay, Juliet my dearest, she's dead.
Dead in the tomb of the Capulets.
Lady Capulet: Nay my husband. All tis well come let us see.
‘twas simply nary a dream
Capulet: ‘twas ‘twas so real.
(They get up and walk out)
(Enter Again with Nurse in Juliet’s bedroom)
Nurse: Madam
(Enter Juliet from Balcony)
Juliet: Nurse, might it be ye voyage t’ town t‘morrow to see
Capulet: Thy means to meet Romeo Aye?
(Juliet sees Parents there too)
Juliet: Oh, um… Father, Mother
Capulet: Fear not daughter, I know all
Lady Capulet: Romeo, that scallywag of a Montague!
What, now what is the meaning of this!
Nay, No daughter of mine should even be
Thinking of something such as he
Capulet: Stay wife! Control thy tongue.
We have but a choice revealed upon me in dream
To forbid this love shalt end in death
Lady Capulet: Love what could she possibly know of such a thing
Capulet: Again I say, stay thy tongue
Love or lust no matter the one
This saddest state of affairs shalt arise
For desperate young lovers do foolish things
Daughter come now, I wish for a word
Lady, hold thy tongue or leave as thy doth wish
(Exit Mother with Nurse)
Juliet: Indeed father I have a many a word for you
Capulet: Tell me daughter art my fears confirmed
Is this love thy truly feels
Juliet: Aye, Father, for nothing could have made me
Happier than to hear that sound uttering from his lips
Romeo, that handsome face, Surrounded by Charismatic honor
Aye, Father, for no other could do, my love belongs to Romeo
Capulet: If this be true what choice have I?
(To audience as a monolog)
But, I twould have thought no child of mine t’ever be a Montague
Yet to forbid the love, I have seen the loss
To send her away would still bear a cross
My one daughter my one love
Canst I satisfy? Nay I know tis not so
Yet Montague how could I agree
My only child go to my only enemy
Nay, must it take the death of my daughter to make me see
Surely not
(Speaking to Juliet again)
Well daughter if thy canst to be persuaded against
I say summon that Romeo who thou dost love
Before the bells of wedded bliss can ring
I must speak with him my suffering
Juliet: Oh father! Truly canst it be
That thee would say yes so readily
Tis not a trick, Aye? For if tis so
I'll Run or Die with my Romeo
Capulet: Nay, daughter, worry not
Thou art far more precious than a feud
Act 6 Scene 2
Capulet’s Study
Capulet: What's that, a knock at the door? Enter!
(Enter Juliet with Romeo)
Juliet: Father, here art thy Romeo
The one whom I doth love most ardently
Capulet: Indeed, Daughter, leave us now
We have much of which to speak
Romeo: Sir, to you I speak, I plead, I beg
Capulet: Aye, for tis your wrong
Is your love for my daughter real
For if tis not as your dishonorable conduct shows
Romeo: Nay, Sir. I know twas wrong not to speak to you
But your daughter hast captured my heart
Juliet, a beautiful sun
Nothing can stop her splendor
I beg of ye do not forbid us
No boundary can contain
Not can destroy the love betwixt us
Nay good Capulet let thy mercy shine
Bless this Union forgive thy foe
Capulet: You speak well and change speak through
The wrong you know to have done
But I wish not to lose my daughter
Yet love will want what's best
Not for itself but for her
Who shalt perform the sacrifice?
I know it shant be you Yet, how can I agree
To love is to choose sacrifice
Yet same doctrine is applied to me
Very well, my son
Though Montague in thy name
Juliet the Capulet hast stolen thy heart
And in love thy blessing I give
(Enter Paris)
Paris: Lord Capulet, Thy summons I answer
Doth this mean what I think it shouldst
Thy mind hast changed
And thou blessing thy give
Capulet: Nay, Paris and I beg ye not t’argue
Revealed ‘pon me in a dream
For thee to impose shalt lead to bad end
Juliet is taken, Romeo is my son
Paris: You dare take away my betrothed
Romeo: Paris, indeed I'm sorry for you
Yet, I hold not one regret
If a beautiful lady is your desire
One chaste and virtuous
I believe there's one whom yet might be yours
Paris: Of whom could you speak
Juliet is by you taken
Romeo: Aye, And a luckiest man I am
But fair Rosaline art what I mean
Lady lovely and virtuous
Yet, not for me, may yet prove love for thee
Paris: Rosaline, she’s but a pauper
Capulet: Nay, my niece is she
And if dowry and beauty art thy motives
Then to be arranged I mind not
A settlement of 10,000 pounds
A bridal price fair indeed
Paris: If the lady meets my eyes approval
Then the price will indeed be fair
But, where shalt Rosaline be?
Capulet: Mayhap a party stemming from nuptials
May yet to draw her out to meet thines eye
And If lady doth agree
Indeed a second occasion shalt arise
(Tybalt Barges In)
Tybalt: Where doth that scoundrel be?
Capulet: Tybalt what hath thee in such an uproar
Tybalt: You, you Montague! How dare thee show thy face here
Capulet: Tybalt, he’s here as an invited guest
Tybalt: Guest nothing! He's a Montague I say
The likes of which doth not belong
Capulet: Nay, Tybalt. If any shalt leave it shalt be you
As Romeo is now my son
Tybalt: What canst thou mean
Romeo: Juliet's and I are to be married
Tybalt: Married nothing! Uncle clearly
He only means to undermine you to ruin thy good name
Capulet: Peace Tybalt, I command thee
Romeo, Paris might you be so good as to wait in the hall
Tybalt: Indeed Montague. Leave while you still have the chance
Capulet: Tybalt! That is enough
Tybalt: What is the meaning of this Uncle
Surly you canst not agree with that Montague
Capulet: Tybalt he’s marrying my daughter
I suggest you give him more respect
And ye’d do well to cool thy anger
Knowing what may come about if you do not
I implore thee to be wise in thy actions
Slow to speak, slow to anger
Tybalt: Ha! What doth thee know of the future
Surely no one could strike me down
Capulet: Nay, tis not so
Pompous Displays, Angerous Hate
These violent passions to have no good end
I beg of thee, for thy own sake change
And know this, this marriage wilt occur
Your refusal shalt only end poorly for you
Tybalt: Uncle, How could you? He is a Montague
Capulet: Indeed and you are a Capulet
One way or another,
Thy hearts of these two families shalt join
Thee canst either agree now
Or death wilt befall on this household
Tybalt: This alone is my choice
Then I shalt conform
My cousin marries a Montegue
Capulet: Indeed Tybalt. A wise choice thou hath made
Romeo, Paris, Come we have a wedding to plan
Act 6 Scene 3
The Church
(Enter Capulet)
(Montague Barges In)
Montague: Capulet What is the meaning of this?
Capulet: How good of thee to come Montague
But don’t thee knowest already
My daughter is to marry thy son
Montague: Indeed yet do thy take me for a fool
Thy daughter may simply be a tool
For punishing us Montagues
For wrongs you feel to have been slighted
Capulet: Dear Montague, Is it not time to put
The past in past as the past ought be
Must our hurts of years prior
Come betwixt the hearts of our dearest loves
Nay, Let our poor Choices not Affect
The child will not share in the guilt of the father
Righteousness of the Righteous on to them
Wickedness of the wicked onto them
Montague, I beg of thee, Forgive me of this conflict
Or if thou wilt not, accepteth my daughter as her own
Dare not to force an end to this
Montague: Nay Capulet, The truth thy speaks
Indeed thy daughter as my own
Thy forgiveness I grant on nary one thing
Forgiveness on me for my part in thee
Capulet: Indeed good Montegue
Now come, let us speak of this no more
We’ve a wedding to attend
(Enter Paris and Romeo)
(Exit Capulet and Montague)
Romeo: Ho Paris! Ye look well on this fine day
Paris: Aye, in anticipation of debt well paid
In face and form of a pretty lady to bestow
Romeo: Fair lady yonder with golden hair
Beautiful Rosaline, How agrees thine eyes
Paris: Indeed quite the beauty
Now, Nicely introduce us Nay Romeo
Romeo Aye
Rosaline might thee honor be mine
To show to thee an admirer truly
Noble Count Paris relation to the Prince
Rosaline: With Gratuity Good Romeo
Pleasure to meet thee Count
Paris: Nay, for surely the pleasure tis mine
Being so bold as I, Call me Paris as thee wish
Rosaline: Thou art to kind sir
But if that be so, then I am Rosaline
(Paris and Rosaline Gaze unwaveringly into each others eyes)
(Romeo moves toward the Friar as Juliet enters)
Friar: Come, It is time to join these two in holy matrimony
(Romeo and Juliet stand together in front of the Friar as Juliet enters)
Friar: Consent doth thy Romeo give to marry this fair Juliet
Romeo: Aye for nothing but nothing could grow my joy
Friar: Indeed, And to you young Juliet
Doth thou take Romeo as thy own
Juliet: To own the heart of thy one I love?
No honor could be pronounced higher
Friar: Well! Then by mine power of thy church
Thy Fair Juliet and Honorable Romeo art Married!
(Tybalt Enters and Takes Center stage)
Tybalt: A tale that started with star crossed lovers
Destined for no good end
Yet not only fate doth govern thy life
Nay, For every day a choice is made
(Enter Capulet and Montague)
Capulet and Montague made poor ones at first
Yet learn they did not to carry
Their own sins onto their kin
They choose forgiveness over bitter anger
(Enter Juliet with Romeo)
A choice in love for their dearest children
(Exit Capulet and Montegue)
All through, Romeo, and Juliet the same
Choose themselves as best to be
Not wavering once in their love spite every offense
Though this may haveth lead to poorest end
The choices of thines parents hath saved thee
(Enter Paris and Rosaline)
(Exit Romeo and Juliet)
Even Noble Paris affected things
He accepted change rather than fight Romeo
Not the choice of a coward
Nay, one of a man with true honor
(Exit Paris and Rosaline)
And surely I made greatest choice of all
(Enter Romeo and Juliet Again)
For I choose to forgive my greatest hate
He I did despise most strong
Yet, for naught but my cousins happiness
I surrendered my anger for bittersweet love
And thus the happy ending
Long denied these Star Crossed lovers
Indeed the choices we make in the simplest form
May change Our courses, Our Destiny, Our very Deaths

This work started as a school project. But, I ended up writing a story that I was really invested in and proud of. When I read it out to my family they were really impressed and thought I should try to get It published, so here I am. This play is a continuation of the famous Shakespearian play Romeo and Juliet; based on the premise that Everything in the origional play after act 1 was simply a dream that lord capulet had.
