Today is Day 13 and the featured screenplay is for the movie Shakespeare in Love. So each day this month, I will provide background on and access to a notable movie script.

Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything of nothing first create. Shuts up his windows, locks there daylight out. With tears augmenting the fresh mornings dew.Īway from the light steals home my heavy son. Madam, underneath a grove of sycamore so early walking did I see your son. O, where is Romeo?
