Description

A Tender Thing by Ben Power explores the complexities of love and sacrifice in a poignant re-imagining of Shakespeare's story. This delicate and moving account delves into the human capacity for love, set against the backdrop of old age, memory, and the demands we make on those we care about. When a married couple confronts the reality of their lifetime together drawing to a close, they are faced with an impossible choice: cannot contemplate being apart. This powerful exploration of the human heart is both elegiac and hopeful, shedding light on the enduring power of love in the face of mortality. First staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company at Northern Stage, Newcastle, in 2009, A Tender Thing offers a fresh perspective on a story that has captivated audiences for centuries.
