The Two Gentlemen of VeronaWritten by William ShakespeareBest friends Valentine and Proteus swear loyalty to each other…until they both fall for the same woman. Suddenly loyalty, love, and good judgment all go out the window. Complete with disguises, misunderstandings, and one very scene-stealing dog, this is Shakespeare’s original rom-com about friendship, forgiveness, and the hilarious messiness of growing up.
