One of the earliest plays by the Bard, The Two Gentlemen Of Verona is performed less often than many of Shakespeare's works and hence feels a little fresher than such pillars of the literary canon as Romeo And Juliet or Macbeth.

This production, the last work of the season from the long-running Brighton Little Theatre, injects a further dose of originality by not only setting the play in the Thirties but inserting several songs by Cole Porter.

The sultry cabaret singers will add a decidedly unusual spin on what is otherwise a classic Shakespearean comedy complete with love triangles, crossdressing and a good happy ending.

Light relief, if any were needed, is provided by the servant Launce and his ill-behaved dog Crab; in this production, we're promised, the dog will break wind, pee where it should not and eats anything that crosses its path.

Set in the magnificent grounds of Lewes Castle, this performance looks set to repeat the success of last year's sell-out production of Twelfth Night, from the same company. Just watch out for that dog.
