Eve is forced to slink back to the outback town she ditched at 18 and face the family she’s actively ignored since, the teenage love she never forgot, and the pub (or is that “family home”?—you say potato, I say “po-taa-to”!) that holds too many of her secrets.

Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy with a relatively small cast by Shakespeare's standards. It is possibly one of Shakespeare's first plays, and some regard it as a relatively immature work written between 1587 and 1593. It may even be Shakespeare's first play. This production is abridged in plain English, producing a condensed version of the play without the complexity of Shakespeare's sometimes obtuse language. Though a comedy, the play focuses on the themes of love and friendship and the conflict between them.
