Two Gents was never published in quarto form prior to the First Folio from whence this text comes, except this is cleaned up and in a modern font; none of those 's's that look like 'f's, not cramped into the minimum space possible because paper was hand made and expensive. Later editors would place a high value on consistency, aiming for a product that would be easily digestible by a solitary reader, with correct punctuation, flattening verse into prose where verse pops up unexpectedly. The text of the First Folio, on the other hand, still echos the spoken word, the words of a playwright writing for actors and the stage.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Exquisite lyricism coupled with absurd plot twistBy Ricardo MioI was drawn to this play after watching ldquo;Shakespeare in Love.rdquo; Early in the movie lines are recited from the play that are quite entrancing: ldquo;What is light, if Silvia be not seen? // What is joy, if Silvia be not by? // Unless it be to think that she is by // And feed upon the shadow of perfection. // Except I be by Silvia in the night, // There is no music in the nightingale; // Unless I look upon Silvia in the day, // There is no day for me to look upon.rdquo; Alas, these words from Act III, and the song in Act IV, (ldquo;Who is Silvia? What is she, // That all our swains commend her?rdquo;) are the highlights of a play that most critics place at or near the bottom of the Shakespeare canon. The play is a comedy and therefore a love story, but the focus is on the friendship of two men--two buddies as it were--as in the plot of a Paul Newman/Robert Redford movie. Also, the heroine is not Silvia but Julia.The buddies are ldquo;The Two Gentlemen of Veronardquo;mdash;Proteus and Valentine. Proteus loves Julia and she loves him, while Valentine is destined to fall in love with Silvia. This being a comedy, Proteus falls for Silvia too, and Julia must disguise herself as a boy to win him back. If yoursquo;re familiar with Shakespearersquo;s comedies, girls disguised as boys is often part of the plot, but it was with this play where cross-dressing began. Valentine goes to Milan to be ldquo;tutorrsquo;d in the world.rdquo; Soon after, Proteus follows to meet up with him in the court of Milan. There, Proteus forgets about his love for Julia and falls head-over-heels in love with Valentinersquo;s girl Silvia, and to entice her affections proceeds to disparage his best friend. Nice guy, huh? This betrayal leads to Valentinersquo;s exile from the court. Determined to win him back, Julia dresses as a boy and sets off to find him. The plucky and fetching Julia; the wit of Launce, the clown, and his dog Crab canrsquo;t save the plotrsquo;s absurd and implausible twist wherein Valentine offers the love of his life (Silvia) to Proteus, just after Proteus was about to rape her. Howrsquo;s that for friendship? And howrsquo;s that for love? Valentine doesnrsquo;t bother to ask Silvia how she feels about being offered up to his friend as so much chattel, never mind that she would have been raped had not Valentine and Julia arrived in the nick of time. As you might expect, ldquo;Two Gentlemen of Veronardquo; is among the bardrsquo;s ldquo;problem comedies,rdquo; and is not performed all that often. In the introduction to the Pelican Shakespeare, Mary Beth Rose of the University of Illinois at Chicago sums up the play with: ldquo;In the lsquo;shallow story of deep loversquo; (I.I. 21), about which Valentine taunts Proteus at the beginning of lsquo;The Two Gentlemen of Verona,rsquo; the actual lsquo;deep loversquo; is that between male friends.rdquo; Indeed. She also cites the plays ldquo;exquisite lyricismrdquo; as the playrsquo;s saving grace.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent edition for teaching R and J in middle school.By L WilsonMy favorite inexpensive version for teaching my middle school students. I use the text and buy a few No Fear editions but I don't share those until I've taught kids how to unpack the language with scanning and paraphrasing. If I wait for awhile, almost all of my students can decode the R and J in the original language. Great edition. Highly recommended. ldquo;O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mockThe meat it feeds on.rdquo; ? William Shakespeare, Othello

From Publishers WeeklyStarred . Shakespeare's legendary tragedy is revisited in this spirited and entertaining production that ran in London from November 2007 to February 2008. The flawless, talented cast features Ewan McGregor as the conniving Iago, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Othello (whose performance won him the Olivier Award as best actor) and Kelly Reilly as Desdemona. There is also excellent support from Tom Hiddleston (as Cassio) and Michelle Fairley (as Emilia). This audio production is a rousing, theatrical performance expertly guided by director Michael Grandage. Complete with a musical score as well as full sound effects and background noises, listening is so enjoyable that the play speeds by at breakneck pace. An enclosed booklet contains color photographs of the production and a well-written essay by drama professor Russell Jackson. There's also an entertaining bonus DVD disc featuring interviews with the cast and crew. Brilliantly produced in all departments, listening is the next best thing to seeing it live. (July) Copyright copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.From School Library JournalGr 10 Up-Naxos AudioBooks' top-drawer Classic Drama Series blissfully continues with this exquisite rendition of Othello starring Hugh Quarshie, Anton Lesser, Emma Fielding, and a full cast of professional English actors with extensive credits in the , BBC Radio Drama Company, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Shakespeare's most domestic tragedy is an exceedingly complex journey through jealousy, self- doubt, inadequacies, and societal acceptance. Passed over for military promotion, Iago, perhaps Shakespeare's most nefarious character, manipulates Othello's downfall, culminating in the murder of his beloved wife, Desdemona, and Othello's subsequent suicide. Under David Timson's stewardship as director, the story is beautifully and simply told, embellished only with intermittent brassy flourishes of classical music and a dramatic echo effect and throbbing heart beat to underscore Othello's chaotic descent and rage. While the entire cast is excellent, the trio of Quarshie (Othello), Lesser (Iago), and Fielding (Desdemona) are outstanding. An outline of each individual cassette, complete synopsis, full notes regarding the text, and cast biographies are included in a compact 24-page supplemental booklet. For all collections.-Barry X. Miller, Austin Public Library, TXCopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.From BooklistThisnbsp;impressive audionbsp;is a version of anbsp;London theatrical performance featuring McGregor as Iago, Chiwetel Ejiofor in the role of Othello, and Kelly Reilly playing Desdemona. In a studio recording session, the actorsnbsp;ldquo;reproduced as closely as possible the stage production.rdquo; Authentic sound effects and background music further enhance the presentation.nbsp;Experiencing a play aurally is different than viewing a stage performance, and sometimes it isnbsp;difficult to distinguish between the voices in the predominantly male cast. Nevertheless, this is an excellent vehicle for introducing the classic tragedy to students and Shakespeare fans. An accompanying DVD includes interviews with cast members. Their discussions of the characters, analyses of motivations, and decisions on delivering lines are thoughtfully presented. These fascinating commentaries add immeasurably to listenersrsquo;nbsp;comprehension of the play and the acting process. --Barbara Baskin
