The Tulsa Community College Theatre Department has announced its newest production will be “The Menaechmi by Plautus.” The classic Roman comedy will be performed on Nov. 12-15. All performances will begin at 8 p.m., except on Nov. 15, when it will be a matinee starting at 2 p.m., at the PACE Studio Theater on the Southeast campus, 10300 E. 81st St.
This hilarious modern adaptation of Plautus’ classic Roman comedy follows two identical twins, separated at a young age, who unknowingly find themselves in the same city. Featuring a playful parody of two iconic fashion dolls, these picture-perfect blondes turn everyday life upside down as friends, lovers, and complete strangers struggle to tell them apart.
Mistaken identities, outrageous misunderstandings, and plenty of crazy farcical antics lead to a wild comedy where nothing is quite what it seems. When the truth finally comes out, everyone discovers that sometimes two of a kind are twice the trouble!
The play runs 90 minutes without an intermission and is rated PG for mild language.
The play is adapted for the stage by Mark Frank, associate professor of theatre and coordinator and director of the Theatre Department.
