The Two Noble Kinsmen is one of the least well-known of Shakespeares plays; its received a few performances by the Globe and RSC, but in general is not nearly well-appreciated enough for its brilliant blend of Chaucerian romance, Shakespearean flair, Fletcherian tragicomedy, and
sheer absurdity.Based on Chaucer's The Knight's Tale , two cousins from Thebes, Palamon and Arcite, fall in love at first sight with the same woman, Emilia. Naturally, they must fight each other to the death for her heart. Meanwhile, Palamon is pursued by the Jailer's Daughter, who is quite literally mad for him. Who will win Emilia's love?
