Astillero play Shakespeare
05 Feb 2010
Astillero tango orchestra and international actors come together in an original production of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. Through the evocative power and passion of tango, the decline of the lovers is seen not as fate, but an act of orchestration. The musicians intertwine with the actors creating their world, their love, and ultimately their fate. The production opens at the Mercury Theatre Colchester on 25 February (see here for info, date and tickets)
