• When did intolerable suffering become acceptable?
• Which cause is worth dying for?
• Is there eternal salvation in death?

Shakespeare's masterpiece retold as a thought-provoking roller-coaster all-embracing play for today. Where do you draw the lines of absolution?

"A bold, challenging, yet ultimately truthful production which should send students scurrying to their texts to work out and discuss the effects achieved." - TES

Two families. Two households. Two lovers.
