Ben Power weaves the text of Romeo and Juliet into a provocative new tale of love and sacrifice. Re-imagining Shakespeare's story, A Tender Thing is an elegiac yet ultimately hopeful account of the human capacity for love.     Shakespeare's timeless poetry provides the backdrop for this delicate and moving account of old age, memory and the demands we make of those we love. When a married couple discover that their lifetime together is drawing to a close, they realise they cannot contemplate being apart.    A Tender Thing was first staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company at Northern Stage, Newcastle, in 2009.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509708497169,"sku":"GOR002174378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50573072531729,"sku":"NGR9781848420823","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51696542318865,"sku":"GOR006328582","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184842082X.jpg?v=1751439824"},{"product_id":"keen-collection-vol-10-book-ben-power-9780573709951","title":"The Keen Collection Vol. 10","description":"On a cold September morning in 1844  a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world.
