Italian director brings a different Romeo and Juliet

TIRANA, April 20 – Renowned Italian director Carlo Bruni has arrived in Tirana to stage a rather different version of the famous Romeo and Juliet tragedy under the title ‘Bitter Love.’
The Italian director has selected two newly graduates to perform the lead roles of Romeo and Juliet in the National Theatre in Tirana. Andi Begolli and Erjeta Curfaj will be performing along with big names such as Yllka Mujo and Monika Lubonja.
The internationally renowned love story and tragedy was also premiered by the private Metropol Theatre in Tirana earlier this year.
Romeo and Juliet staged in cooperation with the Italian Institute of Culture, is scheduled to have its premiere on April 29.
It comes after the successful stage of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible as the first premiere opening the new season. Some 21 established and young actors were selected to perform in the drama directed by Spiro Duni with Timo Flloko and Eva Alikaj starring.
