Ben Power's takes a classic tale we all think we know and gives it a spin that might just make you view love in a whole new light. Forget the moonlit balcony antics; what if Romeo and Juliet had survived the drama and lived to enjoy the fine art of sharing a couch and arguing over whose turn it is to do the dishes? This cleverly crafted reimagining explores the ups and downs that come with a love story that lasts a lifetime, complete with all the tender bits, heartbreaking moments, and lots of mutual eye-rolling.

First introduced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, this rendition of the beloved star-crossed lovers captures the beauty and complexity of a relationship that ages like a fine wine rather than a forgotten takeaway in the fridge. So, if you've ever wondered how these iconic characters might navigate the trials of long-term love, come find out on 17 July at the Earl Arts Centre. It might just remind you that sometimes love is less about the grand gestures and more about those little shared moments—like debating whether to watch yet another reality show together.
