In its mission to interrogate both the classics and the current days, Avant Bard Theatre proudly presents “The Two Gentlemen of Killarney,” an adaptation by Séamus Miller (“Coriolanus,” “The Margriad”) at Gunston Arts Center – Theatre Two.
The play is a timely immigrant love-comedy with live Irish music. Adapted from Shakespeare’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” the story follows friends-turned-rivals from Ireland to America during the Great Famine, blending Shakespeare’s wit with traditional Irish tunes and delivering a rollicking and dynamic celebration of love, immigration, and humanity. All performances are free to APS students and federal employees affected by the DHS shutdown (just show ID); all Saturday matinees are Pay-What-You-Can.
