A TENDER THING Tickets and Dates

A TENDER THING Booking Period 1-20 October 2012 Ben Power weaves together the words of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in a touching story of two lovers. Older than their more famous counterparts, but no less impetuous in their affection, they revel in the joy of true love while coming to terms with the realisation that they are unable to spend eternity together. Familiar lines echo through a story that celebrates the timelessness of Shakespeare's language, in a beautiful and heartbreaking world where hope triumphs over all. Kathryn Hunter revisits the role with director Helena Kaut-Howson that she created for the RSC at Northern Stage in 2009.
