Two Gentlemen of Verona

by William Shakespeare

Headgate Theatre Productions

Shakespeare’s earliest comedy has echoes of the later plays, with disguise, anger, despair, transformational woods, forgiveness, clownish servants – and a dog! The ties of friendship are severely tested by jealousy, betrayal and a band of brigands. This production is set in the late 1920s, with feckless young men, feisty women and knowing servants pushing the boundaries of polite society. Anyone for tennis?
