Color photograph of Grand Valley's 2014 production of "The Comedy of Errors." In this image a clown sits disinterestedly on the edge of the stage. Two old western barmaids attempt to sneak up on it. One has grabbed its right hand, which is covered with a colorful sock. She has a look of murderous rage on her face and is trying to strangle the sock by gripping the clown's wrist. Behind the trio a fight is underway in the town square. On the left a woman holds out her arms as if to keep the violence at bay. On the right a man has been captured by a cowboy and has a gun held to him. The set is designed like a town square, with an old western saloon front in the background.
