“O heaven, were man
But constant, he were perfect.”
| William Shakespeare (Proteus, Act 5 Scene 4)
Valentine sets off from Verona for Milan to see the world. His best friend, Proteus, follows soon after, and his girlfriend Julia secretly disguises herself as a man and follows soon after that. In Milan, both friends fall in love with Silvia. She loves Valentine, but Proteus will go to any lengths to have her, no matter the cost. Antics ensue in this love quadrangle, but as it gets dark, betrayal has some very real consequences. Oh, and there’s a dog.
