Two Gentlemen of Verona
Although well known this play has a rather obscure history and is thought to have been written between 1594 and 1595 and there is no firm record of it being performed in its entirety until 1762. This said it has been noted that Two Gentlemen of Verona has certain similarities to the early Italian comedies.
I rather like this play as I spent some happy days in Verona about thirty years ago and carried around a rather battered paperback copy in my bag just for the fun of it.
