Overview

"Largely ignored for centuries because of doubts about its authorship and its subject matter, once considered distasteful, ""The Two Noble Kinsmen"" is surprisingly relevant to many current interests. Lois Potter supplies new information on sources and contexts, and drawing on extensive experience as a theatre critic, compares a number of late-20th century stagings of the play."
