About The Two Gentlemen of Verona
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Gregory Doran
“Except I be by Silvia in the night,
There is no music in the Nightingale”
What happens when you fall in love with your best friend’s girlfriend?
This modern retelling follows Valentine as he moves from his home in the small town of Verona to the exciting city of Milan and falls in love with wealthy heiress Silvia.
Meanwhile, Valentine’s best friend, Proteus, leaves behind his girlfriend Julia and follows him to Milan. Things become complicated when Proteus becomes obsessed with Silvia.
A complex tale of passion and disguise unfolds as young adults navigate desire, consent, and the limits of friendship.
Directed by Gregory Doran and brought to life by Oxford University students.
