Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre – The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre returns to Old Wardour with a new production of early comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Valentine loves Silvia and Proteus loves Julia – but Proteus is fickle, and falls for Silvia too. When Valentine plots an elopement, Proteus betrays him and Valentine is banished and joins some outlaws in the forest. What are the chances that he’ll be pursued by Silvia, and Silvia by Proteus, and Proteus by Julia, and that all will be waited upon – after a fashion – by their servants Speed and Launce and even Launce’s dog, Crab?
This riotous new production is led by a joyful ensemble of players who will delight with songs, romance and chaos, and hurl Shakespeare’s anarchic comedy into the 21st century. The perfect play for a summer tour. Bring a picnic and your own seating to enjoy the splendour of Shakespeare in this glorious English Heritage setting.
