Cambridge American Stage Tour (CAST), the University of Cambridge's student theatre company, will perform a modern-dress version of Shakespeare's comedy "Two Gentlemen of Verona" at Coastal Carolina University at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 22 in Wheelwright Auditorium.

Following the fortunes of four lovers, three outlaws, two clowns and one dog, the play is a witty discourse on the themes of youth and immaturity, loyalty and betrayal.

CAST is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a 12-stop tour along the East coast. The production is directed by Tom Attenborough, an English literature graduate of Trinity College, and co-produced by James Baggaley and Tim Checkley.

"Two Gentlemen of Verona" is set in Italy and begins with the journey of two friends, Proteus and Valentine. When Valentine leaves Verona to take his place at the court of the Duke of Milan, he falls in love with the duke's daughter, Silvia. With urging from his father, Proteus eventually leaves Verona as well and is forced to say goodbye to his love, Julia. However, when he arrives in Milan, he too instantly falls in love with Silvia.

Suddenly an unbreakable friendship and four people's happiness is threatened by the course of young love heading in all the wrong directions.
