Act 1: Scene 1 New Slang School

Hello guys, this is going to be another new feature of my blog inspired by the interpretations we did in class! I will skip the chorus as I already have done it. I will be always updating this weekly! I hope you enjoy!                                                                                                                                                                  Act 1 Scene 1 Surrey Quays

Sampson: Gregory, don’t let the dead ting Montagues insult us!                                   Gregory: Then we will be flipping bin men! (laughs)                                                        Sampson: When we are angry, we will smash the Montagues faces. (punching air)                                                                                                                                           Gregory: While you are alive, take your neck out of the hangman rope.                                                                                                                                        Sampson: When angered, I will throw punches quickly! (ducking and punching) Gregory: Your don’t get angry too  quickly!                                                                           Sampson: Only looking at the ‘wastemen’ Montagues  make me angry ‘Fam’.           Gregory: Getting angry is the same as starting a fight, to be brave is to stand. If your angry you running away.                                                                                                     Sampson: I shall get close to the wall, to avoid the F.O.B’s they call Montagues!   Gregory: Your weak like a midget, only the weak go to the wall!                                   Sampson: I will ‘bang up’ the Montagues and get a bit physical with the Montagues girls! You know what I am saying? (laughs)                                                    Gregory: Yeah!? (looks not amused)   The fight is between our bosses and us men                                                                                                                                         Sampson: It’s all good! If I fight their men, I will shoot the heads of the women! (My Interpretation of guns used in the movie)                                                                     Gregory: Whoa, Sampson do you need a blackman to punch your head!? Shoot the women heads?!? (looks through Sampson ear to see if their is any brain)                                                                                                                                           Sampson: Get off me! Yes their heads! (Gregory starts to think)                                 Gregory: Oh Ok (nods head)

    Sorry this is so brief – responding from my phone – but I had to comment on this, Gabriel, because its genuinely funny, and a very aware interpretation of the original scene. As soon as I saw it was set in Surrey Quays I knew it was going to be great!

    Nice work.

    Thank you for commenting sir! Maybe, just maybe another class task could act out this script! This has took a lot of time and I hope to progress this piece of work!

    That sounds like a great idea. It is part of the final project to do this – but you’re already well ahead of the game!
