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

  1. On 14th May 2010 at 3:12 p.m., Deborah noted:

    #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.
