Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors

Bedlam Parking Lot

Shakespeare in true Bedlam style. The show made great use of space outdoors and elsewhere -with the exception that the stage was too long and the audience had to fight to hear over several jets above. The transitions in this abridged production were ingeneous. I loved the fact that the sets of twins were completely different -we were able to suspend our disbelief as an audience. Even though such a huge space was utilized (I'd be hesitant to say a stage here, more like a Shakespearean ecosystem) the actors added idiosyncracies and made each character their own. I rate this production a 3 out of 5.
