Performed October 9-11, 2008
Directed by J. Michael Beech.
Based on the play The Brothers Menaechmus by Plautus
Adapted and Directed by J Michael Beech
A married gentleman named Menaechmus arranged to have a feast at the home of his dazzling mistress Erotium. While preparations are in progress, he strolls off to the forum. Suddenly, his long-lost twin brother–also named Menaechmus–arrives. After a crescendo of comic confusions, identities are finally unscrambled, and the brothers are reunited. The play inspired Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors, which in turn inspired Rodgers and Hart’s Boys from Syracus.
