Romeo and Juliet: Galloping towards tragedy

Video Romeo and Juliet: Galloping towards tragedy

TLF ID M018818

Have you ever waited for someone with such anticipation that you felt you might burst? That's exactly the feeling experienced by Juliet, played by Miranda Tapsell of Bell Shakespeare, in this soliloquy as she calls on night to arrive and bring her new husband. Shakespeare's masterful use of dramatic irony puts the audience in agony as we look on, knowing full well that her true love is in big trouble.
