Another Romeo and another Juliet in a strikingly different love
story. Ben Power weaves the text of Romeo and Juliet into a
provocative new tale of love and sacrifice. Re-imagining
Shakespeare's story, A Tender Thing is an elegiac yet ultimately
hopeful account of the human capacity for love. Shakespeare's
timeless poetry provides the backdrop for this delicate and moving
account of old age, memory and the demands we make of those we
love. When a married couple discover that their lifetime together
is drawing to a close, they realise they cannot contemplate being
apart. A Tender Thing was first staged by the Royal Shakespeare
Company at Northern Stage, Newcastle, in 2009.
