 Creative Loafing - Creative Loafing Atlanta: Arts: Theater: Two gentlemen of soprano
The Georgia Shakespeare Festival's Two Gentlemen of Verona demonstrates the difference between a flawed play and a "problem play." The latter term applies to those neither-fish-nor-fowl Shakespeare scripts like Measure for Measure, which don't neatly fit into the categories of tragedy or comedy, and offer great ideas alongside nearly insurmountable quirks.
Even Shakespeare's figures of speech aren't as impressive as usual here, as the text returns to "love is blind" metaphors that were probably pretty threadbare at the time of its original productions.
The Georgia Shakespeare Festival's staging goes a long way to "explain" these and other eccentricities in the play, without becoming a particularly satisfying or entertaining evening.

In a recent AJC article, Georgia Shakespeare Festival Director Richard Garner politely said that he has “never been surprised” by any production at downtown competitor the Atlanta Shakespeare Company.
Though he didn’t come out and say it, he implied that because of the Georgia Shakespeare Festival’s comparatively modern “take” on it’s classical repertoire, their productions are fresher, closer to the moment, and more novel.
My wife and I have been attending the summer festival since we moved to Atlanta about 5 years ago and while we enjoyed it so much early on, we’re finding more and more that the sense of “surprise” that Garner referred to is slipping away for us too.

The festival model leads companies to put up shows they otherwise might not have chosen, so it doesn't make sense to dispute the selection.
