Description:đ The Fall of Two HousesA Sequel to William Shakespeareâs Romeo and JulietBy Rudolph OrtizIn the smoking ruins of fair Verona, love is no longer enough.The lovers are gone. The war is not.The Fall of Two Houses begins in the final breath after Shakespeareâs iconic tragedy endsâwhen Romeoâs poison still lingers on his lips, and Julietâs dagger lies warm in her chest. But death is only the beginning. As dawn breaks, grief gives way to fury. Riots erupt. Banners burn. And the true cost of generational hate is finally paid.The Capulets are crumbling. The Montagues are broken. The Nurseâracked with guilt over aiding Julietâs secret marriageâconfesses everything before taking her own life. Lord and Lady Capulet are consumed by the flames of their estate, one literally, one emotionally. Lady Montague dies of grief. Lord Montague, who outlives them all, now faces arrest for the silence and pride that helped start it all.And Parisâonce believed slain by Romeoâsurvives the duel, only to be found later defending Julietâs tomb with sword in hand. In his final act, he chooses honor over bitterness, dying for a love that never chose him back.Meanwhile, Friar Laurence, who orchestrated the loversâ secret union, is left broken by failure. He prepares their bodies for burial, writes a confession of his sins, and disappearsâno longer priest, only man. Friar John, wracked with guilt for the letter undelivered, drinks himself numb before placing the truth in someone elseâs hands.That someone is RosalineâJulietâs cousin, once the object of Romeoâs early affection. Long overlooked, she becomes the soul of the story. Bearing witness to the wreckage, she alone chooses to tell the truth. Her silence becomes her strength. She delivers the final reading before stepping into a convent, never to speak again.As Verona collapses around her, Benvolio, the last Montague, chooses exile. The Prince, powerless to stop the descent, eventually yields his seal to a citizenâs council. And a young childâa quiet observerâbegins to write the tale that others try to forget.In this hauntingly poetic and cinematic drama, playwright Rudolph Ortiz reimagines the legacy of Shakespeareâs Romeo and Juliet through modern eyes. Every scene is steeped in silence, shadow, and moral reckoning. The ghosts of Romeo and Juliet reappear only onceânot to speak, but to remind us what remains.Told across five acts, a chilling prologue, and a resonant epilogue, The Fall of Two Houses is a meditation on grief, legacy, and the who tells the story when the heroes are gone?With roles for a powerful ensembleâincluding Rosaline, Benvolio, Paris, the Friars, the Prince, grieving parents, a mob of citizens, and a single child who becomes historyâs witnessâthis play is designed for literary readers, educators, and theater companies alike.đ This Book A dramatic Prologue re-enacting the loversâ final momentsFive full acts charting the destruction and reckoning of VeronaA powerful epilogue revealing the child as Luigi da Porto, the real-world chronicler who inspired ShakespeareA detailed character list, performance notes&We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
