In this book, acclaimed translator Te Haumihiata Mason brings the world of Romeo and Juliet alive in a language filled with wairua Maori.

The plays of William Shakespeare have had an enduring appeal in te ao Maori - from Dr Pei Te Hurinui Jones's translation of The Merchant of Venice, Othello and Julius Caesar to Dr Merimeri Penfold's translation of Shakespeare's love sonnets. Te Haumihiata Mason has been central to that tradition, translating Troilus and Cressida for a performance at London's Globe Theatre in 2012 and now taking on Shakespeare's most beloved romantic tragedy.

Love, duels, murders, marriages - Romeo and Juliet has it all. This te reo Maori translation will bring the play into the heart of Aotearoa.
