Ben Power’s "A Tender Thing" offers a deeply moving reimagining of Romeo and Juliet, exploring love not as a fleeting passion but as a lifelong journey.

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.
