The Two Gentlemen Of Verona

From Mon 4 Aug View Venues, Dates & Times

Little known but lots of fun, The Two Gentlemen Of Verona is one of Shakespeare’s very earliest comedies. It is here being presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company in a version lasting just 80 minutes - a fact which makes it an ideal introduction to the bard for younger members of the family. 

The plot centres on the subject of male friendship and betrayal, as lifelong friends Proteus and Valentine fall out over Silvia, the Duke of Milan’s strong-willed daughter. Expect plenty of Elizabethan-style humour, as lovers chase through the woods and Shakespeare’s much-loved device of mistaken identity complicates matters further.
