This romantic tragedy revolves around the theme of love and hate, portraying the intense family feud between two star-crossed lovers, the titular Romeo and Juliet.
This world theatre classic is considered one of Shakespeare’s most lyrical plays, which contains some of his best poetry. The performance will be Singapore’s first staging of a verse-styled mandarin translation by Cao Yu, the most-celebrated Chinese-language playwright of the 20th century.
