The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Friday , September 28 from 6:00pm - 7:30 pm at Intl . Harvester Managerial Park , presented by Tennessee Shakespeare Company . Bring a chair or blanket ! It ’ s free , fun , fast , and for everyone ! Ideal for families and picnics , this quickfire version of Two Gents provides a rare opportunity to laugh at Shakespeare ’ s first comedy – and perhaps even his very first play .
Shakespeare takes a wellknown comedy of a love triangle and re-shapes it into a love rectangle , introduces strong female characters ( one of whom takes on Shakespeare ’ s first “ pants role ” before the more famous Viola and Rosalind do ), creates wise-cracking servants Speed and Launce , and even adds bandits to the mix . But for all that , the play remains famous for one particular role : Crab the dog . Even as the story ranges from the shocking to the hilarious , Crab sits non-plussed .
