Two Gentlemen of Verona
Hudson Shakespeare
Company
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Michael Hagins
Fight Choreography by Michael Hagins
For the third installment of our 2006 summer series, we presented what may be possibly Shakespeare's first play as a swashbuckling comic romp.  Here all the Shakespeare standards are on full view, love quadrangles, unreqited love, a cross dressing female, written messages gone ary, a romp in a forrest, all knowing clowns, a balcony scene and a bit with a dog. Setting: 17th Century Italy
