Shakespeare on the Common

Commonwealth Shakespeare CompanySince 1996 the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company (CSC) has been performing the works of Shakespeare on the Boston Common for free.  This year the CSC has announced they will perform The Bard’s comedy, The Two Gentlemen of Verona.  Dates have not been confirmed but performances traditionally start the end of July.

About The Two Gentlemen of Verona:  Believed to have been written in 1590 or 1591, this comedy is considered by some to be William Shakespeare’s first play. The play deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity, the conflict between friendship and love, and the foolish behavior of people in love.  More about the play may be read here.
