Books with title The Two Gentlemen of Verona: A Shakespeare transgender play

Proteus loves Julia in Verona, Valentine loves Silvia in Milan. But when Proteus meets Silvia, he falls for her too, and the heartbroken Julia sets out in pursuit. This delightful and sometimes disquieting early comedy of love lost and found offers lyrical poetry, disguise, clowning, outlaws, and a most unreliable dog. Proteus is played by Michael Maloney and Valentine by Damian Lewis. Silvia is Saskia Wickham, Julia is Lucy Robinson, and John Woodvine plays Launce.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona is one of seven plays of Shakespeare with at least one character in a transgender role. The Two Gentlemen of Verona looks at love with googoo eyes and also with heartbreak, deceit, and betrayal. What value lifelong friendship when love enters the picture? To what extent will lovers go in pursuit of the perhaps unattainable? In this play, Shakespeare also offers a goodly portion of extravagant wordplay, groaners, and a dog for comic relief. All plays in this transgender series are modernized as reading copies, retaining some characteristics of the script format. As editor, I keep changes in Shakespeare’s language to a minimum, just enough to be understood immediately without stopping to look up obscure words, expressions, or references.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare from early in his career. It has the smallest cast of any of Shakespeare's plays, and is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. It deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity. The highlight of the play is considered by some to be Launce, the clownish servant of Proteus, and his dog Crab, to whom "the most scene-stealing non-speaking role in the canon" has been attributed.
