In 2007, young dramaturg Ben Power, was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, to develop a 'Romeo and Juliet' for older actors.
Set in modern times 'A Tender Thing' portrays an ageing Romeo and Juliet in a tender, often funny, and ultimately poignant story of love.
The Merchant of Venice opened at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon in May this year, and now audiences in Adelaide will have the opportunity to see this outstanding production of Shakespeare’s uncompromising tragedy.
