RAVING REVIEWS

"this incarnation of Romeo and Juliet strives to make the Bard accessible while keeping the work intelligent"
- SPH The Straits Times

"it's when the two lovebirds come together that sparks truly fly. Tan and Wee's iconic balcony scene brimmed with the breathless, optimistic energy of romantic discovery, while the final twists and turns of their doomed relationship was suitably heartbreaking"
