THEATER REVIEW: ‘The Comedy of Errors’ plays at Shakespeare & Company through August 18
This is my favorite Shakespeare comedy; it always has been. I suspect it always will be, and no matter how many times I have seen it, I always crave one more. For this outing in Shakespeare & Company’s outdoor arena theater, The Arthur S. Waldstein, they have chosen a wild, athletic, Vaudeville-style romp. This was an excellent choice for the visual humor and verbal wit that hides the play’s principal plot flaw: mistaken identity. Antipholus of Syracuse is roaming the known world seeking his twin brother, accompanied by his indentured servant and friend Dromio of Syracuse. They have come to Ephesus, where Syracusans are executed for existing, and they are immediately assailed as friends, husbands, and lovers. For some unexplainable reason, this confuses them rather than signaling that their twins must exist in this town. Thank you, Plautus.
