He starred in many musicals at Dickinson High School before moving to New York City to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

"that when Shakespeare dramatised the poem and expanded Mercutio's role, he introduced a brother for him in order to suggest a more fraternal character. Shakespeare appears to be the first dramatist to have used the name Valentine prior to ""Romeo and Juliet"", but he himself had actually used the name previously. In ""Two Gentlemen of Verona"", a play about two brothers and also set in Verona, Valentine is a true and constant lover and Proteus is a fickle one. While not primarily based on it, ""Two Gentlemen of Verona"" adapts several incidents from Brooke's poem, and in all these instances"

The problem exists with at least four other Shakespearian plays (""Henry IV, part 1"", ""Hamlet"", ""Troilus and Cressida"", and ""Othello""). During Shakespeare's lifetime, many of his greatest plays were staged at the Globe Theatre and the Blackfriars Theatre. Shakespeare's fellow members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men acted in his plays. Among these actors were Richard Burbage (who played the title role in the first performances of many of Shakespeare's plays, including ""Hamlet"", ""Othello"", ""Richard III"" and ""King Lear""), Richard Cowley (who played Verges in ""Much Ado About Nothing""),"

As such, being neither a Montague nor a Capulet, Mercutio is one of the named characters in the play with the ability to mingle around those of both houses. The invitation to Capulet's party states that he has a brother named Valentine. Though often fun-loving and witty, the latter demonstrated in his Queen Mab speech in the first act, Mercutio's sense of humour can at times be"
"The Two Gentlemen of Verona The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1589 and 1593. It is considered by some to be Shakespeare's first play, and is often seen as showing his first tentative steps in laying out some of the themes and motifs with which he would later deal in more detail; for example, it is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. The play deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity, the conflict between friendship and love, and the foolish behaviour"

"from the ""paradise"" of his childhood. It is also possible that Jane Austen was influenced, for the relationship between Wickham and Darcy, by Proteus and Valentine, ""The Two Gentlemen of Verona"", created by Shakespeare; at least, that is the opinion of Laurie Kaplan, who recalls how subtly Jane Austen borrows from the Shakespearean comedy. Proteus, though a son of a gentleman, is intoxicated by the facilities and the luxury of the Court of Milan, where he has been sent by his father, and behaves very badly towards his childhood friend, Valentine, betraying and slandering him, causing his exile, while Valentine"

Non-Shakespeare productions have included plays such as Anton Chekhov's ""The Seagull"" and Henrik Ibsen's ""Peer Gynt"" and musicals such as ""On the Town"", ""Two Gentlemen of Verona"", and ""The Mystery of Edwin Drood"", the latter two having made their world debuts at the Delacorte.

"verse in ""The"" ""Two Gentlemen of Verona"" has been described as stilted. Soon, however, William Shakespeare began to adapt the traditional styles to his own purposes. The opening soliloquy of ""Richard III"" has its roots in the self-declaration of Vice in medieval drama. At the same time, Richard's vivid self-awareness looks forward to the soliloquies of Shakespeare's mature plays. No single play marks a change from the traditional to the freer style. Shakespeare combined the two throughout his career, with ""Romeo and Juliet"" perhaps the best example of the mixing of the styles. By the time of ""Romeo and Juliet"","

Another tragedy ""King Lear"", is based on British legend, as is the romanc ""Cymbeline, King of Britain"", which is set in Ancient Britain. Other playwrights contemporary to Shakespeare, such as Christopher Marlowe, also dramatized historical topics. Marlowe wrote ""Edward the Second"" which deals with the deposition of King Edward II by his barons and the Queen, who resent the undue influence the king's favourites have in court and state affairs, and ""The Massacre at Paris"", which dramatizes the events of the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre in France in 1572.
