SF Shakes brings ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’ to Cupertino

Shakespeare’s ‘Gentlemen’

Cupertino’s Memorial Park Amphitheater is once again a venue for San Francisco Shakespeare Festival’s Free Shakespeare in the Park. This summer SF Shakes is staging “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” on Saturdays and Sundays, July 19-20 and 26-27 and Aug. 2-3. All shows begin at 6 p.m. at 21163 Anton Way.

Shakespeare’s comedy is being given a more contemporary setting in this adaptation, in which two young men journey from a small Midwestern town to California, where they are seduced by the possibilities of love, success and reinvention.

The show runs for 90 minutes with no intermission. No reservations or tickets are required, and all seating is general and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cupertino’s Memorial Park Amphitheater has hosted SF Shakes’ Free Shakespeare in the Park since 1993.
