The Comedy of Errors

Jul 30, 2015

The lively cast of the Company of Fools’ production of William Shakespeare's “The Comedy of Errors” pose for a photo shoot after their stellar performance on July 22 at the MERA school house in McDonalds Corners. The cast delighted an all ages crowd that gathered for the outdoor performance, which tells the rollicking tale of two sets of twins who were accidentally separated at birth - two twin brothers and their twin servants, and their love interests. The misunderstandings, dilemmas and mounting confusion make for one entertaining piece of theatre. A wonder of words, sight gags and slapstick comedy, the play was brought to life thanks to the talented and energetic cast and crew along with eye-catching with colourful costumes, fabulous spongy wigs and topnotch sets. The cast each played their highly demanding roles with verve and passion and to great comic effect, making the evening one to remember and likely creating a whole new younger generation of Shakespeare fans.
