Publisher's Summary

Proteus loves Julia in Verona, Valentine loves Silvia in Milan. But when Proteus meets Silvia, he falls for her too, and the heartbroken Julia sets out in pursuit.

This delightful and sometimes disquieting early comedy of love lost and found offers lyrical poetry, disguise, clowning, outlaws, and a most unreliable dog.

Proteus is played by Michael Maloney and Valentine by Damian Lewis. Silvia is Saskia Wickham, Julia is Lucy Robinson, and John Woodvine plays Launce.

Far from the Bard's best but contains gems

First of all, excellent production. The actors do a great job. As for the story, it's not great. Pretty bad, actually. The ending is especially abrupt and unconvincing. A man caught red-handed by both his betrayed friend and his betrayed lover in sexual assault, one moment of public contrition, and suddenly all is forgiven and everyone's happy. All that said, it's still Shakespeare, which is to say it contains gems of brilliant, rhyming wit.
