Known for his most recent work “Virtue” at Plan B Theatre Company, the local playwright recently turned his pen to Shakespeare in conjunction with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! Project, producing “The Two Noble Kinsmen,” originally written by both Shakespeare and his associate John Fletcher.
“They had collaborated at least one play before, ‘Henry VIII.’ But this one I think has more of Fletcher and Fletcher’s ideas, like elaborate dances and things like that,” Slover explained. “And so, it has an epic quality to it that I mostly attribute to Fletcher, but it also has that kind of personal, memorable characters quality that I attribute mostly to Shakespeare.
