Simple single set and costumes - no scene or costumes changes. Cast: 10-18; with doubling 10 Synopsis This is an adaptation of basic elements of Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors”, transferred to a “Wild West” setting, which allows for brawls and bravado a-plenty. There are twin masters, named BUTCH and BOTCH, and their twin servants, named BILLY-BOB-BILLY and BOB-BILLY-BOB. BUTCH and BILLY-BOB-BILLY have been travelling, looking for their long-lost brothers, and have arrived in Deadwood where, as chance would have it, their long-lost brothers live. Trouble starts when BUTCH and BILLY-BOB-BILLY begin to meet folks who know their brothers. But of course, all ends well - well, for ALMOST everyone!
