Juliet & Jul-Yingtai, a New Bilingual Mashup of Shakespeare and Chinese Legend

Juliet & Jul-Yingtai is written by Wisteria Deng and Melvin Yen, with music by Silvan Tang and Panzhen Wu. The production places Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet directly alongside The Butterfly Lovers (梁山伯与祝英台), a Chinese legend as central to Chinese culture as Romeo and Juliet is to Western culture, reimagining both as a single, intertwined story told in English and Mandarin.
