Join us for Shakespeare on the Green's Season of Young Love!
Two Gentlemen of Verona (the Musical)
Adapted by John Guare & Mel Shapiro Lyrics by John Guare Music by Galt MacDermot
Based on the play by William Shakespeare
June 24-27, July 8, 10, 2010
Julia: They do not love that do not show their love.
Lucetta: O! they love least that let men know their love. (I.ii.31)
Proteus and Valentine are the best of friends until Proteus also falls for the new object of Valentine's affections: Silvia. Forsaking his own betrothed, Julia, Proteus sets out to betray his unsuspecting friend, only to find that both Silvia and Julia have a thing or two to teach him about loyalty and love.
A young man's folly drives the action in this Tony Award-winning musical based on what may have been Shakespeare's first comedy: a madcap romp that bubbles over with the playwright’s own youthful energy.
Romeo and Juliet
July 1-4, 9, 11, 2010
These violent delights have violent ends. (Friar Lawrence, II.vi.9)
The houses of Montague and Capulet are sworn enemies. When Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, fall in love they do not know whom each other is. They marry in secret, while the feud rages. When Romeo's friend Mercutio is killed by Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, Romeo in turn kills Tybalt. He is banished from Verona, while Juliet's family plan to marry her to someone else. Friar Lawrence hatches a plan to reunite the lovers, but messages are crossed and they are driven to their deaths instead.
