THE Bard's timeless tale of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet has been adapted into ballets, musicals and even films.
Now, drama group Teater Kami has given it yet another twist - by setting the play in 1950s post-war Singapore, in Kampong Glam.
Called Romzi And Juleha, the play in Malay will be staged at the Esplanade Theatre Studio on Saturday and Sunday.
It centres on a favoured daughter and a dutiful son from warring families. The couple are in love, yet are torn by tradition and the deep divide between their families.
