Romeo, Mercutio wearing his mask, and Benvolio outside Capulet's house.
This is the last Block Theatre "Romeo and Juliet" video that we made. We didn't get very far into the play!
Here, Mercutio gets carried away in telling Romeo and Benvolio about Queen Mab.
Mercuito, Romeo and Benvolio arrive at the Capulets' house, where the maid tells them to "Wait a minute" while she opens the door. Then they unceremoniously "drop in," probably not as Shakespeare intended their arrival to be played, but never mind.
The action switches to the servants who are busy with their preparations... One servant is keen to get some free pickings from the grub that is being served to the guests... In this scene I started to mess around with rudimentary stop-motion editing to create the most satisfying bit of footage in the whole experiment!
