About Summer Short Shakespeare '25:
Our annual tradition of shortened and updated Shakespeare takes us to medieval times, as The Two Noble Kinsmen, derived from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, begins as Athens defeats Thebes in war. Arcite and Palamon, Theban knights and devoted cousins, are imprisoned in Athens. From their cell, they see Emilia, the sister-in-law of Theseus, Duke of Athens, whereupon they both fall in love with her, becoming bitter rivals.

Arcite is released but, for love of Emilia, stays in Athens at the risk of his life. The jailer’s daughter, who loves Palamon, helps him escape, but goes mad with anxiety. Arcite encounters Palamon and challenges him to formal combat for Emilia. Theseus discovers them before they duel, where he first sentences both to death, but then establishes a contest in which the loser will die and the winner will wed Emilia.

Harken back to medieval times with us as these knights, knaves and gentry fight for love!
