The Bomb-itty of Errors
T01348712968
Inspired by Shakespeare s
Comedy of Errors, Bomb-itty inventively traces the chaotic family history of two sets of male twins who are put up for adoption by their struggling hip-hop parents. After the boy s father is arrested for small-time drug dealing, their mother falls apart and splits the boys up between two foster homes and disappears.
The Bomb-itty of Errors follows the explosive confusion when the four boys meet up 20 years later. Because the two sets of twins look identical, wives, sisters, bill collectors, street hustlers, girlfriends, townspeople, jewellers and ladies of the night are thrown into a tailspin of total confusion with outrageous results. Bomb-itty was originally created in 1998 as a senior theatre project at New York University, but quickly went on to become a huge critical success and audience pleaser Off-Broadway at New York s 45 Bleeker Theatre. Since then Bomb-itty has knocked both audiences and critics off their feet and swept awards in New York City, Florida, Chicago and Edinburgh.
