Seattle's veteran Shakespeare in the Park company
Valentine and Proteus, two gentlemen of Verona, travel to Milan and learn about the world of courtship. They are best friends. But love for the same woman comes between them. The women in the play are Sylvia and Julia. Using the ploy of disguises, as in other Shakespeare plays, true love prevails and the friends are reconciled and look to share 'one mutual happiness.’
