Such Tweet Sorrow
In association with Mudlark.
“Two families in the same town have loathed one another for years. But a boy from one and a girl from the other fall in love – deep, sweet and destructive. You know the tale of Romeo and Juliet but now you can see it happening live and in real time – in modern Britain and on Twitter. Six characters live the story over the five weeks of Such Tweet Sorrow and you can experience it with them. Find out more.”

Observations
-
#suchtweet is just finishing on Twitter. It’s been a marvellous experiment – some bits worked, some bits didn’t. Saw the RSC’s current stage show of Romeo and Juliet yesterday at the Courtyard – it was interesting to see the play compressed into 3 hours, having just experienced it in ‘real time’ over 5 weeks.
