		In the closing speech of the last scene, Theseus would fain convince us that, of the two rival kinsmen, Palamon has the better right to the lady—because he saw her first!—but the enduring impression which the play leaves upon the reader’s mind is that man is but the puppet of fortune.
		It is a play which needs to be seen in order that the masque-like splendour of some of its scenes may be fully realised; but a mere perusal of it suffices to reveal its imaginative power, the ripeness and energy of the thought and the luminous colour of high romance in which it is steeped.
		Now, the diction of The Two Noble Kinsmen is of a peculiar nature, and Spalding, in his famous Letter, with others after him, naturally directed his attention to this, above all other things, in attributing these non-Fletcherian scenes to Shakespeare.

	Aisle Say (NY): TWO NOBLE KINSMEN
		The "noble" kinsmen of the title are noble both in birth and conduct early in the play, but the central plot point (taken from Chaucer's "Knight's Tale"), their behavior after falling in love with the same woman, is far from noble and hardly believable.
		Sam Tsoutsouvas and Opal Alladin are noble enough in the not-particularly-compelling roles of Theseus and Hippolyta, but I wish Doan Ly had worked as hard on the meaning as on the words of her long monologues as Emilia, the center of the romantic triangle.
		She is certainly beautiful enough, and her beauty is all our noble kinsmen need to hear to change their lives (and nobility) forever.

		Emilia asks that the kinsmen be banished, swearing never to see her or each other again, but they refuse to do this and Theseus suggests that, in order to limit the damage, Emilia should choose one as her husband, the other to die.
		Meanwhile, Emilia, on the day of the fatal contest, is staring at pictures of the two kinsmen and trying to choose between them – something that she is again unable to do, resentful that she is the unwilling cause of their rivalry.
		Generically The Two Noble Kinsmen is a genuine puzzle – a unique instance of tragicomedy, concluding as it does with a simultaneous death and marriage.

		Based on Chaucer’s tale, it concerns Palamon and Arcite, noble Theban knights and fond cousins, who fall in love in the same instant with Emilia and are therewith torn between fraternal devotion and mortal combat until one of them conveniently dies.
		We start at the court of Athens, where the wedding of Duke Theseus and the Amazon queen Hippolyta (familiar from a much better play) is interrupted by the plea of three widowed queens that Theseus avenge the murder of their husbands by Creon, tyrant of Thebes.
		That two of the queens are played by men says less about the economics of casting than about the absurdities of Darko Tresnjak, the director who also casts a woman in drag as a doctor.

		All I can plead [rather weakly!] is that I was confusing the date of the manuscript (from the reign of James IV, 1473-1513) with the date of the composition of the poem, in the reign of James 1 (1394-1437).
		James 1 (1394-1437) had been a captive of Henry IV in England from 1406 till 1424, marrying Joan Beaufort about two months before he returned to Scotland.
		The poem is supposed to reflect the courtship of the future queen by James 1.
