Summary
Shakespeare loved writing about twins. In fact he loved writing about them so much that in 'A Comedy of Errors' he didn't settle for one set of twins, he went for two. Because two is funnier than one. The mayhem he creates as Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse get confused for Antipholus and Dromio of Ephesus is a perfect example of his mastery of comic writing.

Blackboard
As part of the design two blackboards were required. We got one from the props store but struggled to source a second one, hence our decision to build a second blackboard ourselves. As there was a low budget we were able to source the wood for free from construction and from the dock. The design replicated that of the blackboard from the props store.
Master setting list
Due to the sheer amount of props in this show, the majority of which needed to be set on stage at the top of the show, a detailed setting list became vital. We decided on supplementing the list with a visual guide for ease.
