The Flying Karamazov Brothers take their cue in this performance from a line in Act I, Scene II: "They say this town is full of cozenage, As, nimble jugglers that deceive the eye, Dark working sorcerers..." On the strength of this (and the fact that they are a juggling troupe rather than traditional Shakespearean actors) every character in the play juggles. Despite this, they leave the text of the play almost unchanged. The result is a hilarious adaptation of this masterpiece of comedy, which centers around a man and his slave who don't realize that they are in the same town as their twin brothers. (That's right, they EACH have a twin.)
With a premise as odd as this, the zaniness of the FKB adds to the comedic value of the play without detracting from the plot (such as it is.) My favorite part is the performance of Alec Willows, who plays both Angelo the goldsmith, and the Second Merchant, to whom Angelo is a debtor. Dressed on one side as the goldsmith (in a gold lame' suit) and on the other side as the second merchant, he jumps back and forth (literally) while arguing with himself in two different voices so convincingly you really see two people!
The only problem I've had is that I wore out my tape, and I can't find a place to get a new copy...
