The Story: Proteus and Valentine are two close buddies. When Valentine is sent away to the Duke's court in Milan, Proteus, who is head over heels in love with Julia, is unable to drag himself away to accompany his friend. However, Proteus' father, Antonio, decides that his son needs to broaden his mind with a little travel. Proteus leaves Julia bereft in Verona and joins Valentine in Milan. But once there Proteus meets Silvia, Valentine's beloved, and immediately falls in love with her, too. Proteus plots against his best friend, causing Valentine to be sent away in disgrace. He also tricks Sir Thurio, yet another rival for Silvia's love. Meanwhile, Valentine falls into the hands of outlaws who make him their chief. Julia can't wait for Proteus to return, so she dresses up as a boy and goes after him. In the end, everyone, including the Duke, winds up in the forest among the outlaws, and there is an amazingly quick and . ® somewhat happy ending to this unlikely tale .

Box 11270, College of Arts and Humanities Honolulu, HI 96828. 7 6 About the Play ''S orne Shallow Story of Deep Love" The Two Gentlemen of Verona (1590-94) is one of Shakespeare's earliest comedies; it opens up the world of "Romantic Comedy" which will later yield such Shakespearian masterpieces as As You Like It and Twelfth ·l Night. The plots of romantic comedies, related to the Greek "New Comedy" of the third and fourth centuries, B.C., and 1 Roman comedy, involve intrigues by which young people manage to outsmart older, parental figures as part of a successful campaign to get married. The basic plot of Two Gentlemen is directly borrowed from the highly artificial by Frank Wedekind genre of Renaissance romance- lengthy, stylized narratives of aristocratic love and intrigue. Diana Enmorada, by the Directed by Paul Cravath Portuguese Jorge de Montemayor (first published in Spanish LCC Lab Theatre in 1542) is the main source, but there are many others, Oct. 25~Nov. 4 • $5/$3 including Arthur Brooke's us and Juliet ( 1562), which provided Shakespeare with the "ladder made of cords" and content ....

Also influential is the Italian commedia dell' arte tradition of improvised comic scenes based upon a set of standard situations, again involving conflicts between would-be lovers and oppressive parents ­ by Wakako Yamauchi and the unappealing sui tors they invariably select, like the A provacative & stylized craven Thurio in Two Gentlemen. exploration of the life of In Shakespeare's comedies, aristocratic youths, like Madame Mao and her place Valentine and Proteus in Two Gentlemen, have a tendency to in post-Tienanmen China create their own obstacles to happiness, through Nov. 8 & 9 at 8 p.m. impulsiveness, waywardness, or misplaced guile. In this play, one of the main conflicts results from the clash of love and $6/$4 friendship. Proteus, as changeable as his namesake in The Odyssey, betrays his friend Valentine for the love of Silvia, Obie Award-winning but Valentine's friendship is more substantial. In fact, it experimental theatre from verges on the preposterous: in Act V, Valentine surprises Milwaukee performing Proteus just in time to prevent him from raping Silvia, but when Proteus apologizes, Valentine forgives him and, to "The Desire of the prove that there are no hard feelings, offers him "all that was Moth for the Star" mine in Silvia." At this point, Shakespeare gives the plot an Nominated for additional twist to prevent Proteus from taking up his offer, the American Theatre Critics but he does not seem to intend to make Valentine appear out Best Play of 1989 Award of his mind. His offer exemplifies the concept of idealized Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. l male friendship found in Renaissance literary tradition. Such Nov. 11 at 7 p.m friendships were regarded as purely spiritual bonds untainted $9/$7 J by sexual self-interest. Thus, Valentine's choice of loyalty to a deceitful friend over love to a woman, however true, shows that he has a magnanimous spirit. Still, comedies like this are not meant to be taken very seriously as representations of human emotions or ethical dilemmas. They thrive on excess and wonderful absurdity: Launce's dog, Crab, who "has no more pity in him than a dog"; the convenient outlaws (refugees from Sherwood Forest) who decide to make Valentine their leader instead of 8 9 robbing him; the faithful Julia, who rips up the love letter sent to her, denouncing her hands- "injurious wasps"- for The Company doing so, then begs the wind not to disperse the pieces before she can collect them; or the earnest Valentine, who cannot ANN ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG (Silvia) recently grasp the fact that Silvia is addressing to him the love letter graduated from The College of William and Mary in she asked him to write.
