What is it?

Two Gents.  Two Kinsmen.  One cast.

Before the comedies there was The Two Gentlemen of Verona.  After the tragedies there was The Two Noble Kinsmen.  Perfect Shadow Mingled Yarn presents the two plays that bookend Shakespeare’s career as a playwright.

Together, two fairy tales unfold, two different and difficult examinations of love: one light, one dark, one young, one old, one comic, one tragic.  Performing these plays in rep, Perfect Shadow Mingled Yarn will explore how much love changes across Shakespeare’s career, and how much it stays the same.
