City to Host Trinity's Summer Shakespeare Project
WARWICK – Save the date! For the sixth consecutive summer, the City of
Warwick will host a production of Trinity Repertory Company’s Summer Shakespeare
Project, Mayor Scott Avedisian announced today.
On Friday, July 23 at 6 p.m. in the carousel at Goddard Memorial State Park, the cast will perform The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Directed by Mark Sutch, The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a classic romantic comedy. It follows the adventures of Valentine and Proteus, longtime friends whose bond is put to the ultimate test when they both fall in love with the same beautiful girl. As Valentine leaves his home to see the world, he promises his allegiance to his best friend, Proteus. As Proteus sets off for the Duke’s court in Milan, he promises his love to the fair Julia. But when the friends meet abroad and discover the lovely Silvia, all promises are soon forgotten. Disguise, mistaken identity and a band of outlaws complete this tale of love and friendship.
This family-oriented event is free and open to the public and will be held rain or shine. Seating will be set up in and around the carousel for those who do not wish to bring their own blanket or beach chairs.
