Another fact that would probably be included in the news article, which would most likely be on the Society Page, is the secretive appearance of the uninvited Montagues, a family at enmity with the prestigious Capulets. For Italian families, especially, this offense is a grave incident to Tybalt. With this sense of umbrage in mind, then, of note, is the action of the Nurse who is seen talking with Romeo. And, of course, the audacity of Romeo himself who dares to approach the innocent Juliet, the guest of honor, and his speaking to her and having the effrontery to touch her hand would be viewed as an outrageous affront to the Capulet family. A good reporter would also observe that after the revelers depart, Juliet is observed conferring with her nurse, who quickly escorts her away.
In your review/article, you may wish to include quotes from observers of these affronts by the Montague. Certainly Tybalt, who says,
...What dares the slave
Come hither, covered with an antic face,
To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?
Now by the stock and honor of my kin,
To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.....
It fits when such a villain is a guest (1.5.57-78)
would most likely be quoted. Perhaps one of the guests would be questioned, as well.
It can be noted, too, that Lord Capulet, when interviewed, said that he endured the Montagues so as not to cause "a mutiny among my guests" (1.5.84)
