The Twilight Glow of Romeo

A familiar favourite retold for the golden years.

In this retelling of Romeo and Juliet, The Twilight Glow of Romeo introduces audiences to two not-so-young lovers who have fallen in love after having lived another life with another love, only to have their worried adult children try and keep them apart.

By exploring this narrative, the creators hope to shine a light on the plight of some of our aging population who have lost their autonomy. The Twilight Glow of Romeo is a devised animated objects play embracing a bold sense of storytelling through micro and macro worlds with abstract puppetry, mask, shadow theatre, projection and live music in lieu of words.
