Robert Myles today said, “This is one of the world’s most famous plays, and we’re so excited to tackle it in this new medium. We have a fantastic cast, and there are some great set-pieces, huge moments, famous lines, and challenging scenes when you’re telling this story over Zoom. The hardest moments yield the most creative solutions! It’s a timeless story of love in all its forms, of division, and it goes on this extraordinary journey from raucous comedy to romance to thriller to crime drama.”
