The Two ** Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare.

Shakespeare's take on friendship, young love, constancy and fickleness, this romantic comedy takes us from the courtly world of Verona and Milan to the wildness of the forest where, it seems, anything can happen.
** The Liar by David Ives
Adapted from the comedy by Pierre Corneille. Directed by Russell Treyz
Take one young man who cannot tell the truth, his manservant who cannot tell a lie, add two beautiful young women, a jealous lover and then sit back to enjoy the hilarious consequences in David Ives' brilliantly witty adaptation of this classic comedy.
