Publisher's Synopsis
William Shakespeare's Two Gentleman of Verona is often considered to be one of the first plays he wrote, with an original date of around 1589-1593. It shows the developmental infancy of many themes he would fully explore in later works and is sometimes considered one of his most underdeveloped and weakest plays. Within the play exist many lighthearted conflicts surrounding infidelity and friendship and the follies of those that fall hopelessly in love. Two Gentleman of Verona also is the first example of a Shakespearean heroine cross-dressing as a boy, a common occurrence in many future works.
