From the Script “I was born in the year 1632… in the city of York...” Where It's From Opening of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. “After we had rode about a league and a half a raging wave, mountain-like came rolling astern and took us with such a fury… and furious as an enemy” Shipwreck scene from Robinson Crusoe, chapter 3. “Oh Romeo…” “…Let me not,/ Since I have my dukedom got/And pardon’d the deceiver, dwell/ In this bare island by your spell;” Romeo and Juliet, “balcony scene” (Act II, scene ii), spoken by the young lover Juliet. The Tempest, Epilogue, spoken by the great magician Prospero. “My city is a grumbling monster now, grinding its gears and spouting its smoke, all day and all night, without cease.” Louis refers to the Industrial Revolution—the momentous era in British history when manufacturing moved away from farms in the countryside and into large machinebased factories in the city.
