Considered one of Shakespeare's earliest plays, The Two Gentlemen of Verona is the smallest casted performance in all of his plays. The two gentlemen of Verona - Valentine and Proteus - travel to Milan, eager to learn about the world of courtship. Things prove difficult when the best friends fall in love with the same woman. As in many Shakespeare plays, there is a ploy of disguises, one of which being the infamous heroine-dresses-up-as-boy. The obscure play is a forgotten Shakespeare comedy that alludes to his more definitive style and techniques used later as a playwright.
