Loosely set in the 1920's and inspired by the aesthetics and exaggerated acting of the silent film era, this production of the Shakespearean comedy about two sets of twins separated at childhood takes a genderbent approach. Two towns, Ephesus and Syracuse, keep these sisters separated, with opposing color palettes to match. With an almost entirely female cast representing queer relationships onstage, the stylized choreography and stage combat keeps the themes of family, love, and community.
