Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been adapted in many forms since the bard wrote it in 1597. Chinese avant-garde woman director Tian Qinxin's production premiered at Hong Kong Arts Festival early this month and won wide acclaim for its modern approach and connection with China's social reality. The popular actress Yin Tao plays a unique Chinese Juliet and Li Guangjie Romeo.
