Mrs. Teddy Mack Currington
(Nee: Miss Charlotte Jan Spruiell)
Spruiell, Currington give
wedding vows November 23
By-Brenda Jones
Last Tuesday evening,
the National Players of
Washington, D.C. staged
a rousing production of
William Shakespeare’s
“The Comedy of
Errors.” This comedy
is generally believed to
be the first one written
by Shakespeare; it is
based upon two Plautine
comedies and it is the
shortest of all of his
plays.
“The Comedy of
Errors” concerns a
near tragedy in that a
Merchant named Egeon,
his twin son and a twin
servant to serve his son
(Antipholusand Dromio)
because separated
during a shipwreck from
his wife and the other
sets of twins. After
several years of
separation, Egeon sets
out to find the lost
members of his family.
The‘errors’occur when
the masters mistake
each other’s servants
and vice-versa. There is
a lot of confusion and
finally everyone is re-
united with everyone
else and it ends happily.
Shakespeare adhered
to the classical lines in
this comedy and as a
result, there is a
comparative scarcity of
prose and large amount
of verbal quibbling. It is
significant to remember
that Shakespeare was
trying toachicBMttlMPve
here rathJrihan
character development,
but he producejpk hint of
the great prftry ' and
development which was
to come in the later
plays. The Aply
criticism I wdRl
of an otherwise e«
production
since the prose ^Was
scarce and the entire
play considered
primarily of rimes, just
about everyone in the
cast should have spoken
a trifle slower. The
flavor would still have
been preserved and
enjoyed by more
listeners. \
Be that as it may, the
rest of the production
was flawless. The set
was beautiful and the
costumes were done
quite well. The staging
was also! good,
particularly in the scene
where Antipholus of
Ephesus thoqght he was
looking in a mirror but
was really looking at his
long-lost twin brother,
Antipholus of Syracuse.
Both Dromios
incorporated % funny
business with their
hands throughout the
comedy and were quite
enjoyable in everyway.
Let’s hope that more
plays of this stature
come to the vast
hinterlands of West
Texas!
