British actor/comedian Lenny Henry (Chef) follows his acclaimed performance as
William Shakespeare's Othello with a dazzling comic turn in this furiously-paced
modern-dress production of the Bard's classic comedy. Two sets of twins separated at
birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken
identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus of Syracuse (Henry) and his servant Dromio who, in search of their brothers, arrive in a land entirely foreign to their distant home. A buzzing metropolis, to the outsiders it appears a place of wonderment and terror, where baffling gifts and unexplained hostilities abound. Consistently recognized by strangers, the visitors question their very selves as the turmoil escalates. Meanwhile, Aegeon, father to the Antipholus twins, has been captured searching for his sons and, as an illegal immigrant, is sentenced to death at sunset. 180 min. with Intermission
