The Two Noble Kinsmen - Shakespeare's Bookends

Work:: The Two Noble Kinsmen (S1978045626)

Thought to be Shakespeare's last play - inspired by Chaucer's Knight's Tale. Close cousins Palamon and Arcite have made a vow of friendship and loyalty to each other but have not reckoned on catching sight of the beautiful Princess Emilia. Their new obsession drives them to fight each other in a tournament presided over by King Theseus.

Author	William Shakespeare
Author	John Fletcher

Production:: Shakespeare's Bookends (T01159106507)

Before the comedies there was The Two Gentlemen of Verona. After the tragedies there was The Two Noble Kinsmen. Perfect Shadow Mingled Yarn presents the two plays that bookend Shakespeare's career as a playwright. Together, two fairytales unfold, two different and difficult examinations of love: one light, one dark, one young, one old, one comic, one tragic. Performing these plays in rep, Perfect Shadow Mingled Yarn will explore how much love changes across Shakespeare's career, and how much it stays the same.
