Prop, costume, and blocking ideas

-Modern costume (all black)
Romeo: black pants and a black shirt, maybe a black jacket, black shoes (hair normal)
Juliet: black dress(?) or black shirt and pants (more feminine than Romeo) black shoes, hair down

-Props
I do not think we will need any props, but Romeo could possibly bring flowers for Juliet(?)
Completely empty space, maybe a square taped off around Juliet (since she is not leaving her area/"balcony"

-Lighting
Spotlight on both of them, softer, white.
As Romeo moves the light will not have to move with him since it will stay over the whole stGe the entire time
Lights will go out at the end of the scene

Blocking:
-Romeo and Juliet enter before the lights come up
-They are frozen until Romeo breaks a couple seconds after the lights come up and begin to say his lines
-Juliet downstage right facing the audience
-Romeo upstate left facing Juliet/audience
-As the two speak of their obstacles to be together, Romeo moves further away from Juliet
-As the two speak of their love for each other, Romeo moves closer to Juliet
-Juliet is stuck in her area/box/balcony, not able to move to or away from Romeo-- she struggles with -this/is annoyed with the fact that she is contained
-Juliet tries to leave her area during a few lines, but in a mime-like manner, she is not able to
-Romeo and Juliet go back to how they started (frozen again) with a different expression on their faces than when they started (maybe happier?)
