Inspired by the play’s Morris language and references, The Two Noble Kinsmen is set in pastoral ‘Merrie England’ and brought to life with original music composed by acclaimed folk musician Eliza Carthy, and dance choreographed by Ewan Wardrop.

The Two Noble Kinsmen feels lighter – the scenes are many and come quickly – than most works by Shakespeare.

The dance is a merry England romp, haunted by the green man and full of clog dancing, brightly coloured get up and thumping numbers. And off they trot on their journey to bag Emilia. Where once they were bosom buddies, suddenly they are at loggerheads: they will fight each other to the death to be with her. That is really what The Two Noble Kinsmen is about. The best man of the fight will get Emilia, the loser will lose his head. The debate around authorship of The Two Noble Kinsmen stemmed from the fact that the play wasn't printed in the First Folio and, as a result, is rarely staged.

Their scene in their cell is very funny, but after that it is heavy frowns all the way. When they finally challenge each other to a duel, apparently there's not much else for Emilia, Theseus and Hippolyta – who all eventually become aware of the predicament – to do than to agree to it. Inspired by the play’s Morris language and references, The Two Noble Kinsmen is set in pastoral ‘Merrie England’ and brought to life with original music composed by acclaimed folk musician Eliza Carthy, and dance choreographed by Ewan Wardrop. The characters of Theseus and Hippolyta pop up in this play as rulers and after a battle with Creon they take two talented knights – cousins and firm best friends Palamon and Arcite – capture.

While the cousins are locked up, they each see, through the window of their cell, Theseus' beautiful sister-in-law Emilia, and immediately fall desperately in love. Whether Shakespeare or not, it's a great night out. Teetering somewhat precariously between tragedy and comedy, The Two Noble Kinsmen echoes several of the Bard's other works, from Midsummer to Hamlet. But there are still the layers upon layers of narrative and double twists and it borrows several characters from other plays – you'll recognise Ophelia in the mad scenes of the poor Jailer's Daughter. They both manage to escape from their cell, Arcite because he is banished, Palamon through the help of the Jailer's Daughter – who in her turn is hopelessly in love with him. 2018 Directed by Barrie Rutter.

But most are now agreed that this is a work by Shakespeare, albeit written with some help by John Fletcher. The close connection between friends and how that can break so horribly. Her sadness and lunacy is a connecting thread through the scenes and she is a remarkable stage presence; funny, engaging, relatable while delivering well-balanced pathos. Shakespeare's Globe: The Two Noble Kinsmen (2018) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. Director Barrie Rutter, his first gig after leaving Northern Broadsides, beautifully draws out the morris dance scenes – performed by a company not miles away from the Mechanicals. Did he or didn't he write it? But there are still the layers upon layers of narrative and double twists and it borrows several characters from other plays – you'll recognise Ophelia in the mad scenes of the poor Jailer's Daughter. The rest of the cast are also strong, with Bryan Dick and Paul Stocker playing up the occasional humour of their moments well. The Two Noble Kinsmen feels lighter – the scenes are many and come quickly – than most works by Shakespeare. And so here it is, happily sitting slap bang in the middle of Michelle Terry's first season at Shakespeare's Globe. Rutter doesn't quite manage to bring the full force of that forward here, but in a production that's as all-embracing of the play's silliness, plus with the stand-out turn from Mills, it's hard to care. And what a lot of mad fun it is. Ellora Torchia is a touching, caring Emilia and she and Moyo Akande bring out an acute sense of their sisterly love.

Francesca Mills, as the Jailer's Daughter, is a brilliant spurned lover, using physicality in her scenes to play the comedy as well as the tragedy of a women who doesn't get to choose in life.
