# The Two Gentlemen of Verona - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **William Shakespeare** (Author), **Amelia Roper** (Translator)

**A contemporary translation of one of Shakespeare's earliest explorations of love and friendship.**

In one of his earliest plays, _Two Gentlemen of Verona_, Shakespeare began exploring themes of love and friendship that became the focus of some of his greatest works. Amelia Roper's translation focuses on how the verse sounds--the feeling of the words as spoken by an actor and listened to by an audience. This version offers a new sort of life to the play, letting audiences feel like they're truly hearing it as Shakespeare's audience might have more than four hundred years ago.

This translation of _Two Gentlemen of Verona_ was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.
