Rewrite Shakespeare? Sacrilege! Unless it’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and the trailblazing creator is Amanda Dehnert. The gents are still Proteus and Valentine, and they’re still struggling with first love, but in this freshly hip version they’re also figuring out who they are and want to become. One love interest is now a boy, the other is a free spirit who grows geraniums in her oven—and they’re all in a rock band. In a setting that’s part theatre and part concert, the players are young, somewhat motley, somewhat eclectic and totally wonderful.
