Mudlark and the Royal Shakespeare Company present

What is this all about?

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.

What is twitter?

Such Tweet Sorrow

Writers

Bethan Marlow

Favourite piece of work so farwww.youtube.com/hattyrainbow Creating a piece independently from scratch gave me a lot of satisfaction.

What do you like doing online: ummm.....why? who have you been talking to? As we rugby girls say, "what goes on online, stays online". It's actually "on tour" but you know what I mean. 

Your lifestory in a tweet (140 characters or less): A Welsh tomboy who was convinced she wanted to be an actress, one day discovered she could write. Had to make a choice. Realised she'd always been a writer. Has no regrets. 

What's the essential difference between you and Juliet: I'd been snogging, falling in love and getting my heart broken way before I was sixteen. I guess that's what happens when you're out climbing trees and raised without a computer!

Your main ambition beyond writing: I'd love to be an HGV driver.
