0:00:05 > 0:00:10Hello! Come on, everybody, take a seat.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Woo!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16ALL: Hello!
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Wiggle your fingers and cross your feet.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Are you ready?
0:00:26 > 0:00:31One, two, three, watch me.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37Four, five, six, I've got some tricks.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Seven, eight, nine, it's almost time.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Ten!
0:00:43 > 0:00:44ALL: Magic hands!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Just look at my magic
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# My magic hands
0:00:51 > 0:00:54# Make your fingers super-duper. #
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Magic Hands!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02BOTH: Hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03My name is...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And my name is...
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Look at what my hands can do.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Do you know who that is?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's William Shakespeare,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29he was a very famous writer and poet.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32His clothes look really old-fashioned.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Yes, that's because he was born
0:01:36 > 0:01:39over 400 years ago.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But look, he's got a rose.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44A sweet smelling rose.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49That reminds me of the play Shakespeare wrote,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52called Romeo and Juliet.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57It's about a girl and a boy who fall in love.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04The trouble is, their families don't like each other at all,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and that's going to make it really hard for them to be friends.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14The two families in the story are called
0:02:14 > 0:02:18the Montagues and the Capulets.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23And they live in Verona, which is in Italy, where pizzas come from.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The man who runs the town of Verona is a prince,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and it's his job to tell the families off
0:02:30 > 0:02:32when they start fighting.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The poor guy must be really busy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37The Montagues and the Capulets
0:02:37 > 0:02:40have been arguing for years.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Are you ready, Simon? - Sure am. Are you ready?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Rebellious subjects.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Enemies to peace.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Profaners of this
0:03:11 > 0:03:13neighbour-stained steel.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Will they not hear? What, ho!
0:03:26 > 0:03:30You men, you beasts.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31That quench the fire
0:03:31 > 0:03:33of your pernicious rage,
0:03:33 > 0:03:34with purple fountains
0:03:34 > 0:03:36issuing from your veins.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45DOG BARKS
0:03:45 > 0:03:47On pain of torture,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49from those bloody hands
0:03:51 > 0:03:52throw your mistempered
0:03:52 > 0:03:55weapons to the ground,
0:03:55 > 0:03:56and hear the sentence
0:03:56 > 0:03:58of your moved prince.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Three civil brawls,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12bred of an airy word,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15by thee, old Capulet,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17and Montague,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19have thrice disturbed
0:04:19 > 0:04:21the quiet of our streets
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and made Verona's ancient citizens
0:04:26 > 0:04:28cast by their grave-beseeming
0:04:28 > 0:04:29ornaments
0:04:29 > 0:04:32to wield old partisans
0:04:32 > 0:04:33in hands as old,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39cankered with peace,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41to part your cankered hate
0:04:49 > 0:04:50If ever
0:04:50 > 0:04:52you disturb our streets again,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55your lives shall pay the forfeit
0:04:55 > 0:04:56of the peace.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Not longer after their families get this ticking off,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13And it's at a fancy dress party.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It is love at first sight.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19However, Romeo finds out Juliet is a Capulet.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And Juliet that Romeo is a Montague.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Their families hate each other so much,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33it means they can never be friends.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36But, Romeo won't give up.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40He goes to try and find Juliet after the party,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and sees her on her balcony.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It is the east,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03and Juliet is the sun.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Arise, fair sun.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11And kill the envious moon
0:06:15 > 0:06:17who is already sick
0:06:17 > 0:06:18and pale with grief
0:06:21 > 0:06:24that thou, her maid,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26art far more fair than she.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35It is my lady, O, it is my love!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41O, that she knew she were!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Romeo isn't alone.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Juliet is also madly in love with him.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54She's upset that she can't be his friend,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56because of their names.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59She thinks what people and things are called
0:06:59 > 0:07:01shouldn't matter.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05This is where the rose comes in.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You're up next. Off you go.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Watch out for the rose!
0:07:19 > 0:07:23O, Romeo, Romeo!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Deny thy father and refuse thy name,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41and I'll no longer be a Capulet.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47'Tis but thy name that is my enemy,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49thou art thyself,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56though not a Montague.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04What's a Montague?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10It's nor hand, nor foot,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14nor arm, nor face
0:08:16 > 0:08:20nor any other part belonging to a man.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22O, be some other name!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26What is in a name?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29That which we call a rose
0:08:29 > 0:08:33by any other name would smell as sweet.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
0:08:42 > 0:08:47retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Romeo doff thy name,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and for that name which is no part of thee
0:08:59 > 0:09:01take all myself.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11It's such a shame their families don't like each other.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14People often argue about silly things.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Sometimes it makes sense to just say sorry, and forgive each other!
0:09:22 > 0:09:25If the Montagues and Capulets had done that,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29then there would have been no problem for Romeo and Juliet.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I think I need some roses to cheer me up.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh!
0:09:38 > 0:09:39THEY LAUGH
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Bye-bye!- Bye.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Magic hands!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49# Just look at my magic
0:09:49 > 0:09:51# My magic hands
0:09:51 > 0:09:53# Wiggly fingers, super duper
0:09:54 > 0:09:56# Magic Hands! #
