Okay, my answer is undoubtedly influenced by the fact that I am also an actor; but my reason is that the tragedy of true lovers from conflicting backgrounds resonates across time, place and cultures. That's why the play is so often staged as occurring in different circumstances. I myself have played Juliet's father, Capulet, as a 1960s London gang boss, with Romeo the son of a rival mob. The story would work equally well, and movingly, with the families being, say, Moslem and Jewish. It is the universality of the theme, and the doomed helplessness of the 'star-crossed lovers', that makes this pair my choice in answer to your question; although the beauty of the language takes a bit of beating, too!

Interview I gave to blogger Fiona McVie today about being an author

Let’s get you introduced to everyone, shall we? Tell us your name. What is your age?

My name is Albert Clack and I’m 71.

Fiona: Where are you from?

I was born and grew up in Brighton, on the south coast of England. I now live in Letchworth Garden City, 40 miles north of London. In between, I’ve lived in lots of places, including Slovakia, France, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Cuba and Dubai.
