For the first time, Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 two oldest theatre companies, Shakespeare Kelowna and Theatre Kelowna, are combining creative forces to bring Shakespeare香蕉视频直播檚 The Comedy of Errors to the people of the Okanagan.

It is one of William Shakespeare香蕉视频直播檚 early plays. It is also his shortest and one of his most farcical comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from puns, wordplay, as well as a little bit of slapstick and mistaken identity.

Many people love Shakespeare and never miss a chance to see one of his plays. Other people shy away from him, thinking his language is inaccessible or just hard to follow. But is it?

Do you recognize any of these?

香蕉视频直播淪ome are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them,香蕉视频直播� is from Twelfth Night.

And 香蕉视频直播淎ll that glitters is not gold,香蕉视频直播� is from the Merchant of Venice.

There is more than just a little bit of wisdom to be gleaned from the Bard.

The Comedy of Errors has its own share of wisdom, with lines such as 香蕉视频直播淚f she lives till doomsday, she香蕉视频直播檒l burn a week longer than the whole world.香蕉视频直播� But while that may sound like typical Shakespeare, this is Shakespeare with a modern twist, complete with a little Barenaked Ladies. Once again, the audience will be in for a visual feast, thanks to set designer Brian Haigh and set painter Ann Ganser, who, with their intricate set, will immediately transport you to right in the middle of the town of Ephesus.
