THE WEST END THEATRE, 263 WEST 86TH ST
Comedy, romance, and music save the day in TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA. Proteus and Valentine, lifelong friends, are about to embark on youthful adventures: for Valentine, and his witty servant Speed, it’s off to the Court of Milan to make his fortune. Proteus would rather stay home in Verona to pursue amorous adventures with the radiant Julia, but soon he too is bound for Milan, with his trusty servant, Launce, and his faithful dog Crab.
The trouble begins when Proteus meets Valentine’s new love, the exquisite Sylvia, daughter to the powerful, sensuous Duchess.

Watch with horror as SIR TOBY and his party posse pull the perfect prank on arrogant meanie MALVOLIO, who's got a secret crush on the supremely gorgeous LADY OLIVIA, who's fallen madly in love with VIOLA, who (disguised as a guy after a terrible disaster) has got it bad for her boss, the clueless but charming ORSINO, who's convinced that life's not worth living if OLIVIA keeps turning him down--meanwhile, MALVOLIO is acting very odd, and--hey, who's the Cute New Guy?
Shipwrecks, cross-dressing, courtship, and demonic possession all figure into this terrific romp,
starring LENNY CIOTTI, ERIC DYSART (30 ROCK), JONATHAN MARBELLI, & AMY FRANCES QUINT. and Featuring: |

Cymbeline OCTOBER 7 – OCTOBER 31, 2010 Directed by LYNNEA BENSON AT THE WEST END THEATRE Thursday -Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Sundays at 3 p.m..
From the palaces of Britain to the love dens of Rome; from the sacrificial altars of Jupiter to the caves of the Welsh countryside, CYMBELINE is William Shakespeare’s darkest, sexiest, most surprising comedy.
King Cymbeline (David Arthur Bachrach) is not behaving in a very kingly way—driven to his wit’s end by his gorgeous Queen (Vivien Landau), he’s poised for war with the powerful armies of Rome.
What’s worse, his daughter, the lovely Imogen (Rosa Vilenze Gilmore) has just married the handsome Leonatus (Ross Beshear), despite her father’s wrath. Banished from the kingdom on pain of death, Leonatus |
