Directed by Mukul Ahmed
Bangladeshi theatre breathes new life into the greatest love story ever told, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Weaving together Shakespeare’s verse and Bengali poetry, People’s Romeo is a dynamic cross-cultural performance made for our time. Five performers use Pala Gaan – a theatre style which combines music, dance and storytelling – to re-invent this classic of English theatre.
TARA produces global theatre for local audiences. Positioned between East and West, TARA has pioneered cross-cultural theatre for over 3 decades. In 2009 the company co-produced Hanif Kureishi’s The Black Album with The National Theatre.
