3 F / 9 M / Ballet
A full-length musical in 2 acts
1 Set
This is yet a modern adaptation of a Shakespeare play, and in this version it comes with an added rock music score.
TWO MEN OF VERONA is the story of two friends; the noble Valentine and the very ignoble Proteus. Together they leave Verona in favour of seeking their fortune at the Imperial Court in Milano. However, their intentions are complicated slightly by two young women. Firstly Proteus’ ex-girlfriend Julia from Verona, who has followed him to Milano disguised as a young lad. Secondly, there is the Emperor’s daughter Silvia, who is in love with Valentine though wooed by Proteus because of her title. Eventually it comes to a happy ending when the right people fall in love mutually, as the point of the show is that everyone is adaptable.
