DESCRIPTION:
While in captivity, they spy the beautiful Emilia. Composed sometime in 1613-14, The Two Noble Kinsmen is the final play in Shakespeare's dramatic career. Palamon and Arcite, cousins and bosom friends, are taken prisoner by Duke Theseus of Athens. Full-Cast Audio Theater Dramatization. Jonathan Firth plays Palamon, Nigel Cooke is Arcite, and Emilia is played by Helen Schlesinger. This dark-edged tragicomedy is now widely regarded as having been written by Shakespeare in collaboration with John Fletcher. Both fall instantly in love with her, and their attachment to each other turns to hate.
A Rosetta Stone for Appreciating Shakespeare Donald Mitchell The Two Noble Kinsmen was only partially written by Shakespeare. The primary author was John Fletcher, and Shakespeare seems to have been doing a rewrite more than a collaboration. As a result, you get two different styles of narration and development in the same story. The underlying tale follows very closely on the famous Knight's Tale from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. As a result, you get a three way perspective on Shakespeare that is not available elsewhere -- what his co-author did, what Chaucer did, and how Shakespeare. The only recording and fortunately a good one from Arkangel F. Behrens The Arkangel Shakespeare series being issued by Penguin Audio is now halfway through the plays and the surprise is that was given preference to the remaining more familiar works. Co-authored by Shakespeare and Fletcher, this play remains an odd man out for several reasons. Based fairly closely on the "Knight's Tale" from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," it tells of two cousins, who just after swearing eternal friendship in one of Duke Theseus' prisons immediately fall in love with the same woman, Emilia, and become bitter rivals . Jakujin said A friendship tragedy. I just want to cast my vote for the play: I love it. (I love the Knight's Tale, too). If you've ever known love to ruin a friendship, one of the other sex to come between you and your friend - doesn't this happen quite often? - this play is for you. I ached and wept. Besides it has Amazons. It's about friendship rather than love, it's a tragedy of friendship, and for portrayal of both woman-woman and man-man emotion, for the thesis that this love beats the "sex dividual" love, often, here's your play. It's late, dark but elegia

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. Plays were not prized as literature at the time, and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.. He was an a
