This production of William Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors" starring The Flying Karamazov Brothers at Lincoln Centre (NY) in 1987. In this scene, Shakespeare tries to tell a joke and it fails, miserably. From Wikipedia: "The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins that were accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession."
