    People Are Talking: Richard III & The Comedy of Errors:

  • This Comedy of Errors was the best I have ever seen. It made the text totally accessible – I wish my 12-year-old grandson had been there. This is surely what a comedy in Shakespeare’s time must have been like, not the ‘Oh goodness, this is Shakespeare so it must be taken seriously” type productions we see so often these days. These actors are masters of timing and physical comedy and nothing was ever overdone, all the action was a result of the text and the plot. I had a ticket for Richard III for opening night but was unable to go due to sickness so I had hoped to be able to see it Sunday night. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that there had not been enough people in this area interested in buying tickets so the Sunday performance had to be canclled. I hope that this is the first of many visits by Propeller to Ann Arbor via the UMS.
