The National Eagle Center hosts the Great River Shakespeare Festival for a showing of The Two Gentleman of Verona in the Amphitheater! The show is free, but donations are accepted.
About The Two Gentlemen of Verona:
Best friends Valentine and Proteus travel from Verona to Milan to become gentlemen. But the course of growing up never did run smooth. Amidst competitors, clowns, parents, and one unforgettable dog, these young friends—and the tenacious women they love—stumble through romance, betrayal, and reconciliation.
At turns silly and profound, Shakespeare’s first comedy asks timeless questions of youth: Who must I become to get what I want in life? Do I stay true to myself or shape myself to the world? Is what I want now what I will want tomorrow?
In this nimble 80-minute adaptation, just six actors bring to life Shakespeare’s rollicking comedy about the chaos of becoming yourself. Filled with physical hijinks, clever wordplay, and some of Shakespeare’s most accessible poetry, this production celebrates the spectacular upheaval of falling in love and the exhilarating turbulence of coming of age.
