Two Gentlemen of Verona

The Playmakers @ Disjecta Contemporary Art Center

August-September 2013

 

Nothing complicates friendship like a little romantic competition.

Though written hundreds of years ago, William Shakespeare’s TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA features the young people of our generation: eager, passionate dreamers who yearn to achieve the ideals of Adulthood, Success, and Relationship to which they've always aspired. The reality of "adulthood" -- the lack of opportunity, the ever-raging hormones, and the competing loyalties -- looks very different.
