Show 'Boys From Syracuse7 Opens Tuesday At Babcock Theatre One of Broadway's earliest successes, suc-cesses, recently revived in New York City, is beingrevived once more, this time in Salt Lake City. The new production of "Boys From Syracuse," loosely adapted from Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors," opens Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. in the Babcock Theatre, and will play through Saturday, with a Saturday matinee at 2:00. Student tickets are available at discount, with University Univer-sity activity cards. Set to music by Rodgers & Hart, and featuring the famous song hits "This Can't Be Love" and "Falling in Love With Love," the story "Boys From Syracuse" tells of the confusion which results when a man and his slave find themselves in a city where their twin brothers happen hap-pen to live. The bulk of the comedy derives from repeated mishaps with the girls the various twins are in volved with. The plot works itsel into an almost insoluble tangle, be fore Shakespeare, with his typica "Deus ex machina" flair f o i straightening things out, provides an ending happy for all. The script calls for many lightning light-ning fast scene changes, a chal lenge being taken up by John Cook, who designed the costumes for "The Adding Machine," a recent Babcock Bab-cock play. Mr. Cook has designed a large one-piece set with many act ing areas. Costumes are being designed de-signed and executed by Michelle G u i 1 1 o t, set designer for this spring's award-winning studem play, Polly Swenson's "How Court ly Love Came to Galingale and De parted Surreptitiously on Horse back" (or words to that effect). |
