Director Blanche McIntyre helms this classical production of one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known but still theatrically significant works. Basing his plot on a farce by Plautus, Shakespeare caps the mayhem of his Roman original to build up a hectic tale of violent cross-purposes, furious slapstick and social nightmare.
