THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA

9 – 18 July

The Two Gentlemen of Verona

We returned for the 3rd year to the University of Surrey Lake with this very early Shakespeare comedy. Also known as ‘the one with dog’, director Joanna Read gave this production a ‘Brideshead Revisited’ setting.

We continued to expand our ambitions by having not only a real dog in the show but also a rowing boat to take Proteus and Lance to Milan.

This was also the show that introduced audiences to the brilliant set and costume designs of Neil Irish.

“A truly memorable evening in a truly magical setting, and the applause could have brought the cast back for several curtain calls”  British Theatre Guide
