Opening night begins flawlessly… until Romeo reaches for Juliet. Blake delivers his line with too much passion, and lightning snaps from his fingers, striking Lucius on the balcony. Juliet nearly tumbles. Romeo panics. The audience freezes. Blake’s wife goes pale. Queen Elizabeth laughs. The crowd follows her lead. Lucius glowers down, wondering how Angela survives Blake’s emotional storms, while Blake desperately tries to calm the magic crackling under his skin. The lightning fades, the scene recovers, and the play continues — but everyone onstage braces for the next supernatural disaster.
