Comedy of Errors (first folio approach)
Shakespeare in the Valley
Waterville Valley, NH (Rec Center Stage)
Natalie plays Dromio of Syracuse or 1st Merchant/Angelo
To be performed using the original "first folio" script, elements of improvisation, British holiday pantomimes and an approach that scholars believe to be the way in which Shakespeare and his contemporaries put shows on their feet in mere hours. The Comedy of Errors has a convoluted plot that follows two sets of identical twins, separated by tragedy as infants (and thus unaware that the other exists). Add to this jealous wives, scheming mistresses, long-lost spouses, love at first sight, the (always comic) death sentence, surprise reunions and more plot twists than an episode of “Lost”, and you’ve got the recipe for a comedy of truly erroneous proportions (or an error of truly comic proportions—your choice!)
