Talk:The Two Noble Kinsmen

Further sources for modern productions
When I, I kept myself to one source per production and cited the articles/reviews I have easy access to. However, I wanted to list a few other reviews that might (1) more directly support the article content than the citation I decided to use, and/or (2) contain new information that would be beneficial to add to the page.


 * (review of Royal Shakespeare Company at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, 1986; dir. Barry Kyle)
 * (review of Royal Shakespeare Company at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, 2016; dir. Blanche McIntyre)
 * (review of Shakespeare's Globe, London, 2018; dir. Barrie Rutter)

Merit
This also needs a section on the scholarly consensus regarding the merit of the play -- user:2001:1c00:2a05:3100:115:772f:bfd:96a8

"Modern revival"
The section "Modern revival" gives a list of recent performances beginning in 2007, e.g.
 * A production opened on 9 June 2015 at the White Bear Theatre in Vauxhall, London–the first London production of the play since 2000.

Now, 2000 is hardly pre-modern, so to earn the title of the section, we should say more about a hiatus and the very first performances after that hiatus. (I do not have such info.) Or the section title should be more like "Recent performances".--Nø (talk) 07:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Authorship
I feel this page needs more information on the play's authorship debate, given that it raged well into the 20th century, unlike many plays classed as Shakespeare apocrypha. What changed? Did new technology allow deeper analyses that quieted critics' complaints? If not, why is the attribution to Shakespeare now uncontroversial when other 20th-century additions to the canon like Edward III and Sir Thomas More continue to inspire debate?

 * I agree. There is a lot more that could be said about that and this page is much less detailed than it could be. Are you planning to work on it yourself? There are certainly good sources out there. AndyJones (talk) 12:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
