20 “0 gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully: Or if thou think’st I am too quickly won, I’ll frown and be perverse and say thee nay. So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world,” prom- ised Juliet (Mary Noble) as she pledged her love to Romeo (Dave Hensley) on the steps of her balcony in Act I, Scene II of Shake- speare’s Romeo and Juliet.

“Nurse, commend me to thy lady and mistress. I protest unto thee—pleads Romeo (Dave Hensley) to Juliet’s nurse (Gloria Hollingworth). The nurse replies, Good heart, and i' faith, I will tell her as much: Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman.” This scene takes place in the second act of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Julia. “Virtue itself turns vice, being mis- applied; And vice sometimes by ac- tion dignified,” muses Friar Laurence (Dwayne Ibsen) as he picks imaginary flowers on the KSC stage. Romeo (Dave Hensley) explained his absence to his kinsmen, Benvolio (Bill Link) and Mercutio (Ray Dage), saying “Pardon, good Mercutio, my business was great; and in such a case as mine a man may strain courtesy.” College Theatre Did Masterpiece In celebration of Shakespeare’s four-hundredth anniversary, the Col- lege Theatre presented Romeo and Juliet last October. The tragedy was directed by Dr. John Kirk while the staging of the Shakespearean master- piece was under the direction of Dr. Stephen Archer. Romeo and Juliet, one of Shake- speare's early tragedies, is the story of the ill-fated love affair between two young people. These two lovers are from families which are opposed to one another and, thus, they are forced to keep their relationship a secret. With the aid of a nurse and Friar Laurence they are married. Their happiness ends tragically, how- ever, as the play reaches its final moment.
