Paul Taylor Dance Company

Music by Amilcare Ponchielli
Although based on one of Shakespeare’s bitterest plays, this is a wickedly funny travesty in which three Cupids laboring to awaken the passions of a pair of clueless protagonists find themselves the unwilling objects of drunken invaders’ affections. “Taylor’s funniest work to date dazzles with bright-spirited, belly-laugh humor [turning] Shakespeare’s bitter play
of love and betrayal into a hoot. At the root of his humor lies his astute observation of human nature involving romantic matters in which mere humans appear as stumbling, clueless oafs.” – Susan Broili, Durham Herald-Sun
