Information

If Shakespeare is one of the builders of the modern human soul, as Harold Bloom claims, in "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" he begins to develop many of the elements that will define this conception of the human being.

"The Two Gentlemen" is one of the first comedies in which he refines the tensions between friendship and love, tensions that occupied a significant space in the literature of the late Renaissance. Friendship, understood as a form of love without sex, was being treated from many perspectives and exalted as a form of high sentimental commitment or compared to romantic relationships.

Written shortly before "Romeo and Juliet," it shares with it numerous viewpoints and dramatic tensions. We also find in it one of the most emblematic creations of the comic servant character, which will create a model that will later feed both the theater of the Bard and that of his followers.

The acclaimed British director Declan Donnellan has received awards in London, Moscow, Paris, and New York, including four Olivier Awards, the Charlemagne Order of Andorra, the Moscow International Stanislavski Award, and the Golden Lion of Venice. In addition to his Cheek by Jowl productions, Donnellan has directed theater, opera, and ballet for numerous companies around the world. In 2012, he directed the film "Bel Ami," an adaptation of the Maupassant novel starring Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Colm Meaney.
