Claim: Mel Shapiro has worked with the American playwright and screenwriter John Guare in different productions such as "Two Gentlemen of Verona" and "Bosoms and Neglect".
Evidence: For Broadway, Shapiro co-wrote the book (with Guare) and directed the 1971 musical adaptation of Two Gentlemen of Verona and directed the 1978 revival of Stop the World - I Want to Get Off with Sammy Davis Jr. as well as John Guare's 1979 play Bosoms and Neglect. John Guare (rhymes with "air"; born February 5, 1938) is an American playwright and screenwriter. His libretto with Mel Shapiro for the musical Two Gentlemen of Verona was a success when it premiered in 1971 and was revived in 2005 at the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park.
