UM Theatre & Dance Presents THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, 4/30-5/11
By: Samantha Vega Apr. 16, 2013
The University of Montana School of Theatre & Dance is pleased to offer The Comedy of Errors, one of the Bard's most lively plays. The Comedy of Errors runs in the Masquer Theatre of the Performing Arts and Radio/Television Center on campus April 30-May 4 and May 7-11 at 7:30 p.m.
Shakespeare's most outrageous farce remains the quintessential play about mistaken identity.
Not one, but two sets of twins separated at birth unwittingly converge upon Ephesus, a coastal
town on Jost Van Dyke, the smallest of the four main islands of the British Virgin Islands:
one master and servant who've lived there their entire lives; one master and servant from
Syracuse who arrive to search for their long-lost brothers. Wordplay and slapstick abound when
appearances deceive companions and family alike and the visitors from Syracuse wander the
town in a sustained state of bewilderment over Ephesian culture and rules. Before long, everyone questions his own sanity. A furiously funny day of confusion results in classically dramatic revelations and a hilarious happy ending.
