Valentine and Proteus are best friends. That is, until they meet Sylvia, and their lifelong friendship is put in serious jeopardy. Can they all find their happily-ever-after? A love triangle, a forest, and disguises – The Two Gentlemen of Verona has it all. Shakespeare’s gloriously silly story of love, friendship and growing up bursts onto the stage of The Estates Theater in a new 70-minute modern English verse translation by Amelia Roper that’s the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for families. Directed by Lisa Wolpe with additional support from the Hitz Foundation and Play On Shakespeare. Starring Frantisek Heřmánek, Stanislav Callas, Genevieve Gionet, Renee Lamari, Ash Visker, Fawzia Istrabadi, Josh Morrison and Marc Cram.
