Coles Amphitryon: A Play at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Amphitryon: A Play presents a lively exploration of shifting identities, desire, and the uneasy boundaries between mortal experience and divine interference. The narrative follows a household disrupted when a powerful figure from the heavens assumes the form of a returning warrior, creating emotional uncertainty and unexpected tension. As illusions and disguises unfold, the story highlights how easily trust can falter when appearances are manipulated, revealing the fragility of certainty in relationships. The work blends playful humor with reflections on loyalty, perception, and the instability that arises when reality becomes indistinguishable from impersonation. Through doubled figures, mistaken encounters, and escalating confusion, the play examines how individuals struggle to make sense of conflicting truths, emphasizing the comedic yet unsettling consequences of deception. The contrast between ordinary life and unchecked divine influence further reinforces the idea that human affairs can be reshaped by forces beyond control, turning everyday expectations into chaotic misunderstandings. In combining wit with an undercurrent of social observation, the work offers a timeless portrayal of love, vulnerability, and the unpredictable nature of identity.
