Sobre IBD

The Two Gentlemen of Verona doesn’t enjoy a high reputation among Shakespeareans. As an early comedy, it suffers from internal inconsistencies and a questionable resolution. However, having produced and directed a radio version of the play (for WSUI in Iowa City, Iowa), I have partial feelings for the work. Thus, I ask that the play be taken for what it is: somewhat flawed but generally rewarding.
