Business Overview
Another "Romeo and Juliet" This is a story about the love and separation of an elderly couple named "Romeo and Juliet," which was created by reconstructing the lines of Shakespeare's original work without fail, and adding sonnet poems and songs. Ben Power's epoch-making work, directed by Ryo Arai, premiered in Japan in 2021. Matsuoka Kazuko, who completed the translations of 37 Shakespeare plays, was invited to supervise the translation. This is an updated retelling of the 21 version. Author: W.
