COMEDY OF ERRORS

The camera pans back to show us sex between a lord and a lady, congress as it used to be called. The room is stunning in its appointments, the moonlight is streaming in, mixing with the candlelight, mixing with us, remastering our senses. We are convinced. He cannot stop stuffing it in. She cannot stop begging him to stuff it in. Everything is going great, really great, until a bat flies out of her wig. Thus the lush period piece becomes a comedy of errors, told from the bat’s perspective. We begin to pen our review - “Why does every comedy of errors start the same way . . .”
