A Tender Thing | Tasmanian Shakespeare Theatre Company | Earl Arts Centre, Launceston
Ben Power's A Tender Thing offers a deeply moving reimagining of Romeo and Juliet, exploring love not as a fleeting passion but as a lifelong journey.
What if the world's most famous lovers had grown old together? Tony Award-winner Ben Power (The Lehman Trilogy) masterfully reshapes Shakespeare's original text, weaving a poignant tale of enduring love, loss, and devotion. First staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company, this version of Romeo and Juliet reveals the profound connection that only a lifetime together can create.
'A wonderfully crafted reworking... extraordinary' ― Whatsonstage.com
'Incredibly effective, the language made fresh, its nerve endings exposed.' ― The Stage
'Power's ingenious reorganisation pays off handsomely... what did Shakespeare know?' ― The Guardian
