Day 62: So What I Learned was...The Comedy of Errors was really short...

from CollaborativeArtsTheatre.com

So I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to blog about for the rest of the week because, truth is, I finished The Comedy of Errors in about an hour or two. Not only is it really short, it is also a VERY easy read. It's farcical, silly and completely devoid of any subtext. It doesn't really have much in the way of subplots. I didn't hate it or anything. There's just not much to it, so there's not much to think about.

Actually it's best not to think about it too much. Otherwise you'd be forced to ask such questions as:

• Why did each set of twins have the exact same names?
• Were they wearing the same clothes the whole time? If not, why did no one comment on this?
• Why didn't their mother--now an abbess--ever recognize them? Or at least the twin that was her son, since they lived in the same town the whole time?
• Come to think of it, why exactly was their mom an abbess again?
• If they KNEW they each had twin brothers, why did they NEVER think that they might have stumbled upon them? I mean, that would have explained a lot.
• Wait, why were they estranged from their father? That was weird.

So yeah, best not to think about it.
