Les Deux Gentilshommes de Vérone

by William Shakespeare

Translated by François Guizot

"Les Deux Gentilshommes de Vérone" by William Shakespeare is a comedy believed to have been written between 1589 and 1593. Two best friends from Verona journey to Milan, where love threatens their bond. When Proteus betrays both his beloved Julia and his friend Valentine by pursuing the same woman, loyalties shatter and deceptions multiply. Julia disguises herself as a boy to follow her unfaithful lover, while Valentine leads a band of outlaws in the forest. Shakespeare explores friendship versus love, infidelity, and the foolish behavior of people in romance.
