It truly was a show of errors....comedy, not so much.
You could see where the company were trying to go with this show, but it just felt amateur.
With it being Shakespeare's shortest, it is definitely the ideal play for a fringe, and from the poster and knowing it is the bard's work, I expected so much more.
The clown get up for the two brothers, both by the name of Antipholus, seemed to be amplifying that this is indeed a farce and there is a lot of physical comedy. But the costumes of the other characters did not make sense, why were the sisters in tutu's and full face paint? The show left me with many questions, why did a man dressed as a woman appear half way through and do a lip sync? Why did they stylise the piece this way? Why was this the director's vision?
1/5
