The Two Noble Kinsmen

Directed by Lisa Wolpe

A stunningly Queer tragicomedy, featuring base noblemen, misguided monarchs, and hateful lovers. A captured Amazon virgin who longs to be left alone is set up as a prize for prideful warriors - who will stop at nothing to win the day. A young girl goes mad – tricked, raped and ruined in her pursuit of an impossible dream. This one-hour adaptation from a play written by Shakespeare and Fletcher, taken from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" is conceived and directed by Lisa Wolpe. Starring PSC Associate Artists Scott Jackson, Carolyn Johnson, alongside PSC favorites Kymberley Mellen, Owen Lindsay and students from the 2024 PSC Summer Shakespeare Intensive.
