The Two Gentlemen of Verona at American Players Theatre

Our two gentlemen seek travel, adventure and, yes, love too. But nothing complicates friendship like a little romantic competition, as the boys attempt to thrive as men. Like youth, this play lives in the moment, featuring mercurial changes of heart coupled with moments of selfishness and laugh-til-you-fall-down funny. Because as we all know: 1. Enduring friendship comes with its fair share of heartache, and 2. It’s nothing if not forgiving. Two Gents is a play written when Shakespeare himself was just a Bardling – call it his coming of age, coming-of-age story. Pairs upon pairs, the boys, the girls, the servants, and one emotive dog keep the comedy lively.
