Characters I picked

The characters that I picked were, Romeo, Juliet, Nurse, Friar Laurence, Lord Capulet, Paris, Mercutio, Tibalt, Prince and the Apothacary. Romeo's prop would be a red heart because he has had love before with Roseline and because he loves Juliet. Juliet would have a white heart because she has pure love to Romeo. The Nurse would have a lantern because she guides Juliet in the right direction. Friar Laurence would have a cross because he is a holy man. Lord Capulet would have a big stack of cash because he is very rich. Paris would have a gold brick because he is a noble man. Mercutio would have an alcohol bottle because he acts crazy and isn't always thinking straight. Tibalt would have a sword because he is very violent and likes to fight. The Prince would have a gavel because he is in charge of the city. The Apothacary would have drugs or poison because Romeo wanted them to kill himself. I left our Lady Capulet because I don't feel like she is as important as the other characters because she basically is the messenger for Lord Capulet. I also left out the slaves because they are not that important either. I left our Roseline because she is not very apparent in the play.  All of the characters would use their props to highlight their personality. So let's say Lord Capulet in talking to Romeo. He should have his money in his hand waving it around almost like a show off.  This might have an awkward effect on the play because the audience might be wondering why they only have 1 object and wonder why they always have it with them. If I had to use my classmates I would cast them like this.
Romeo: Josh
Juliet: Jasmine
Nurse: Leslie
Friar Laurence: David
Lord Capulet: Nan
Paris: Ivan
Mercutio: Jamaal
Tibalt: Nia
Prince: Helen
Apothacary: Purdy
