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.
