The Two Noble Kinsmen Details
Based on Chaucer's Knight's Tale, The Two Noble Kinsmen was written at the end of Shakespeare's career, as a collaboration with the rising young dramatist John Fletcher. Neglected until recently by directors and teachers, the play deserves to be better known for its moving dramatization of the conflict of love and friendship.
Reviews
In looking at the list of characters, I noticed that Emelia is listed as the sister of Theseus. In all other versions I have seen, she is the sister of Hippolita (Theseus's wife). Also, it uses some archaic language and has no explanatory notes. So, I decided to find another source for the play.
