Redwood City Shakespeare in the Park - Two Gentlemen of Verona
Free Shakespeare in the Park is thrilled to bring its production of Shakespeare's classic romantic comedy, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, to beautiful Red Morton Park in Redwood City for three big weekends, Saturdays and Sundays at 6pm from August 9 through August 24. SF Shakes started in Redwood City in 2012, and continues to offer high quality, professional theater at no cost.
Since 1983, part of the mission of SF Shakes' is to make Shakespeare accessible to all, and they continue to offer Free Shakes productions to audiences around the SF Bay Area; no tickets or Shakespeare experience needed. The relaxing outdoor setting provides an opportunity to see high quality, professional theater, free of charge. Treat yourself to some Shakespeare this season, for a moment that is sure to bring you a touch of The Bard!
About the Show
This spirited adaptation of Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona follows two young men as they journey from a small Midwestern town - rooted in simplicity and tradition - to the alluring promise of California, where dreams are made and shattered in equal measure. The two friends who venture westward confront their inner conflicts as they are seduced by the possibilities of love, success and reinvention.
Grounded in the spirit of exploration, this adaptation captures the quintessential drive for self invention, while acknowledging the costs that often accompany it. It's a fast-paced journey of mistaken identities and misguided affection that will leave you laughing--and questioning what true friendship and love really mean.
The show is suitable for all ages and runs 90 minutes without an intermission.
Location: Red Morton Park, Valota Road side, 1455 Madison Ave, Redwood City
Dates: August 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24 at 6pm
