Set in Little Italy, New York, where Shakespeare's two cities are transformed into two rival Italian restaurants.
While Valentine and Proteus move from Verona to Milan, the characters in this production move from working at one establishment to another. Boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy's best friend meets girl and also loves girl. To director Hamilton Clancy, the spirit of joy and adventure that all these mismatched lovers have is the spirit that many people come to New York City with. This free production opens The Drilling Company's second season of Bryant Park Shakespeare.
