    A good communication is very important inourdaytoday activity.Itgives us a
    chance to convey our message properly. However, in the play Ang Katatawanan Ng

    Kalituhan, an adaptationof WilliamShakespeares Comedy of Errors, thereseemedto


    bealotofmiscommunicationinthewholeplay.

    with his companion, left to find his brother. Out of mercy, the dukeallowed Egeon 24

    The whole play is basically about the twins whose life wascompletely troubled

    because they are in the wrong place at a wrong time. The whole town was confused
    having two ArtifuloandDromeo without knowingthatthere areactuallytwoArtifuloand
    Dromeoroamingaroundtheirtown.

    In the whole play, miscommunication is very prominent. From thestartuntil the

    part where they have discovered the truth. One instance of this miscommunication
    happened when Artifulo ofSyracusa met Dromeoof Efeso firstmetin the market.The
    two were confused and fighting since Artifulo of Syracusa asked Dromeo of Efeso
    where is the golds and money Artifulo asked Dromeo to safely keep them. However,
    Dromeo of Efeso didnt understand any of what Artifulo is saying and is also mad
    because Luciana, Artifulos wife is angry sincehis husband, Artifulodidnt came home
    for lunch. The problemsand misunderstandingof the Artifulo of Syracusa andDromeo
    ofEfesocausedthemtofight,argueandhurteachother.
    In this scene, miscommunication happened because they kept on shouting to
    eachother.The two are not listening towhateachotheraresaying.Theyareforgetting
    tothinkaboutandunderstandthecontextofwhateachpersonwassaying.

    These miscommunications of Artifulo of Syracusa and Dromeo of Efeso could


    haveavoidedthesemiscommunications if theycouldhavelistenedwhile onepersonis
    talking and fully understand what the context is and of course listening to the
    explanationofoneanother.
    Not listening nor understanding what a person is saying are usual causes of
    miscommunication. These two are not only visible in the play but in our day to day
    activities as well. If these two causes are avoided, theres a chance that
    miscommunicationbetweentwopeoplewillbeavoided.
    Since the audience can feel that they are part of the play because of all the
    interactions of the actors with their audience, I believe thatthisplay ispresentedvery
    wellthroughaplay.However, Ithink that presentingitthrough abookwillgivetheplay
    achance toexplainthedetails further and describingthe setting vividlywouldnotbea
    problem since the setting of the play is very much familiar to us. There is already a
    picture in ourmind onhowtheseplaceslooklike.Idontlikeittobedeliveredthrougha
    film, becausebased from experiencefromwatchingnovels being adapted to film,I am
    disappointedto how someimportant details areomittedbecauseitwouldnotsuittothe
    cinematography. Ibelievethateverythingthatwaspresentedintheplayshouldbekept.
    Also, the interaction made by the actors to its audience made it more comedic and
    enjoyable.
    IfI would ratethe play,Iwouldrateitas4.5.Havingadreamofactinginagrand
    play,I wasamazedhowDulaangUPcanperformandexecutesuchplays.Even though
    the stage setting is simple,everypart ofitwas properly usedallthroughout the play. I
    also admired how the actors of the play can totally portray the characters they are
    playing and how good they are in adlibs and how well they manage situations like
    forgettingtheirlinesand concentrating on what they are doingeven iftheaudienceare
    really distracting. The missing 0.5 is for the times that their voices are not audible
    especialllyin the back.I knowthat itisinevitablebuttheactorseffortswouldbe wasted
