Mistaken identities, undeserved beatings, gaslighting, probable affairs, exorcisms, misplaced bags of gold, and two sets of twins amounts to double the trouble and double the fun as Shakespeare brings on the jokes after a spate of history plays. Will and James dissect the finer points of farce in The Comedy of Errors, a zany slapstick affair with insult comedy galore. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); illustrative excerpts from: The Parent Trap, dir.
