=====================
Sam Troughton of the RSC discusses how Romeo has no plan once he is discovered in the Capulet garden. He explores Romeo’s language and how Juliet is compared to sources of light and an angel.

This clip is from the BBC series Shakespeare Unlocked. The cast of the RSC offers insights into character, dramatic devices and interpretative choices through performance. Three key scenes are shown from Romeo and Juliet which are then explored by actors and directors in workshops.

=====================
Teaching English Literature or Drama?

Ask students to discuss what extra information they discover about Romeo from watching this workshop, both in terms of what Romeo actually does and says, and from what the actors and assistant director say about him.

Ask students to look at all the information they have gathered about Romeo.
What does this tell us about Romeo? For example, he climbs a tall orchard wall – what does that tell us about him? That he’s strong? Brave? Reckless? What picture can they build of Romeo based on this analysis?

Romeo’s language: The actor playing Romeo suggests that Romeo is moved by Juliet’s beauty. In pairs ask students to read through Romeo’s soliloquy, from lines 1 to 24. Ask them to create a list of the different ways Romeo describes or suggests Juliet’s beauty.

This clip will be relevant for teaching English Literature and Drama. This topic appears in OCR, Edexcel, AQA, KS3, KS4 and GCSE in England and Wales, and CCEA GCSE in Northern Ireland.
