A Tender Thing - Scottsdale

The Tasmanian Shakespeare Company presents "A Tender Thing" by Ben Power.

Romeo and Juliet, reimagined

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 re-organisation pays off handsomely... what did Shakespeare know?' ― The Guardian
