Two Gentlemen

I finally got to start the Shakespeare part of this trip. After a false start with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, with my first play being canceled (later rescheduled) due to a Covid outbreak, I finally managed to see some theater with a fun production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. It was staged in a fairly traditional way, except some of the Italian stereotypes were amplified for laughs. There were a couple of choreographed dance interludes which were fun and did a good job of storytelling as well. And they had a sweet dog joining the cast. This is a classic, possibly the first, Shakespearean comedy with some dramatic/romantic tension along the way, but everything ends up happy at the end. A fun night out.
