MIDCOAST Community Theatre brought Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” to life at Taree Universities Campus on Friday 16 May.
“My love of Shakespeare began in 1993 while studying Othello and I continued studying him at university in literature and acting studies,” said Director and Producer Catherine Watson.
“I also played The Abbess and Merchant One in a production of The Comedy of Errors in Sydney directed by Lex Marinos.”
Stand out performances from the cast on Friday night included Tyler Blake as Antipholus of Ephusus and Kaylan O’Keefe as Antipholus of Syracuse.
The mother and daughter team of Amy Ferry and Charlee Bournes played Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus, gracing the stage together for the first time.
Bec Noland delivered another outstanding performance as the father of two sets of twins, and her riveting prologue set the scene for the action to come.
Having loved the stage since the age of six, Bec has recently returned to her passion after a break.
“I really enjoyed the role of playing a man as it stretched my acting capability,” Bec told NOTA.
“I absolutely adore theatre, and it is everything to me.”
