	The Two Gentlemen of Verona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare from early in his career.
		A major theme of the play is the contest between friendship and love: that is, the question of whether the relationship between two male friends is more important than that between lovers.
		Valentine's attempt at rescuing Silvia from her controlling father, and his subsequent banishment, is distantly reminiscent of what happens to Romeo in Romeo and Juliet.

		Verona is in Veneto, a province in northeastern Italy.

	SparkNotes: The Two Gentlemen of Verona: Context
		Critics are not certain of the precise year in which The Two Gentlemen of Verona was written.
		This theory of a two-step writing process would explain the seeming addition of the characters Launce and Crab and the inconsistent references to Milan and Verona as the setting, and to Silvia's father, who is at times called the Duke and at others the Emperor.
		The first historical mention of The Two Gentlemen of Verona is in 1598, though the presence of certain theatrical techniques and themes in the play suggests that it was a precursor to other early works such as As You Like It and Twelfth Night.

	The Two Gentlemen of Verona
		THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF Wells thinks this is Shakespeare's "first surviving play" (40) partly because of its slightness (e.g., it has the smallest cast list).
		The two exchange wit about drowning and pun on the word "boots." Valentine departs and Proteus notes to himself that Julia has "metamorphis'd" him (66).
		Ogburn speculates that "Valentine's being shipped from Verona harks back to the dramatist's own embarkation from one Italian port to another, perhaps to an original conception of the play, before Verona was decided on" (308).

		Chock full of songs and choreography by director Kathleen Marshall, “Two Gents,” as the presentation came to be known the last time around, features a diverse array of musical styles, including rock, calypso, gospel, ballads and one crazy number that begs for Carmen Miranda.
		There are times when the costumes and beat seem more appropriate for the Caribbean than for Verona or Milan, but don’t knock it—the variety adds to the joy and uninhibited nature of the smartly staged frolic.
		Norm Lewis has great presence and a thrilling voice enabling him to sparkle as Valentine, one of Verona’s gents, who pines for Sylvia, a sexy dish in the person of Renée Elise Goldsberry, who is not only gorgeous but can stop a show with her singing.

		"Two Gentlemen" layers complicated musical and vocal patterns in glorious, soaring harmonies while moving the story forward to give the Sixties Message lacking in the supposedly quintessential 60's Musical "Hair": "All You Need Is Love".
		The "Two Gentleman of Verona" CD is thought provoking and fun as the songs are filled with timeless truths about government neglect, destructive wars, polluted cities and the power of love.

		The two don't share the stage until near the end of the first act, but when they do (in the back-to-back songs "To Whom It May Concern Me" and "Night Letter"), its enough to put Central Park on temporary fire alert.

		Now, as one of the titular "Two Gentlemen of Verona," Lewis triumphs as a lead, thereby giving a mixed-bag production a reason to be seen.
		The story itself -- two best friends in Renaissance Italy vie with two other swains for the same woman -- is stupid beyond belief.
		For marquee value, there's Rosario Dawson, known to movie fans from the likes of "Sin City," "Alexander" and as the female lead in the film version of "Rent." Making her stage debut as the spurned lover who dresses as a man to find justice, she proves competent, with a singing voice that's passable if uninspired.

		It doesn't get put into production very often, mostly because of the controversial ending, in which one character attempts to "rape" (as it would seem) a girl, is interrupted, and then the girl's fiance decides to "give" the girl to the offender as a gesture of good friendship.

	' Two Gentlemen of Verona,' Review on Broadway.com
		Recent Shakespeare in the Park productions have featured an array of familiar TV and film faces; they've run the gamut in terms of talent, but the aggregate star power often made it easier to ignore the occasional clunker.
		Rosario Dawson is the only notable in Two Gentlemen, however, which invites an undue amount of attention toward her stage debut.
		The small burst of fireworks that hails the end of Two Gentlemen of Verona is totally superfluous; Marshall and her gaggle of young and youngish talents have brought an ecstatic glow of verve, skill and high-octane romance to the Delacorte.
