Ephesus is quite the place. It has its name in stage lights and you only have to open a door to hear the sound of wild partying. When it’s time for a feast, someone arrives with a pile of pizza boxes. It is brash, metropolitan and a little dodgy – the home of wheeler-dealers and people who will keep stumm for a price.
No wonder Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio look as if they don’t know what has hit them. It is not only the weird accusations people keep making against them in this unfamiliar town, it is also the hectic pace of it all. Played by Angus Miller and Michael Guest, they are eager-to-please tourists, all smiles and unguarded charm as they try to get along with the locals. At one point, Guest shows up with an “I Heart Ephesus” tote bag.
