Lend Me a Tenor

I'm sure you all have seen the signs around campus and the fliers in the napkin holders in the dining hall advertising the play "Lend Me a Tenor". First off, I would like to clear some things up. One thing that always confused me was what a tenor was, so for anyone who doesn't know I have included a link to a cite that explains it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenor. Now that that is cleared up, I can start in on my point. This past Thursday, I went to see this play. I didn't know what to expect since I had no idea what the play was about. But as the play started, I began to notice very subtle references to Othello. I began to pick up that the plot line entailed a theater program putting on the play Othello and the manger had this huge Italian actor lined up to play the part of Othello. But disaster strikes when the manager and his handy man find the famous actor "dead" is his hotel room. To avoid upsetting the audience, the manager strikes up a brilliant plan to dress his handy man up in the actor's costume and pretend to be the famous actor playing Othello. The plan worked out brilliantly in the respect that everyone believed the handy man was the famous actor. But a new twist arises when the actor wakes up from a very sound sleep and tries to break into the theater under his own name. But he is rejected by the guards as an impostor. Back in the hotel after the play, the handy man impersonating the actor and the actor himself, both still dressed as Othello, cross paths with the other characters but never at the same time to realize that they are seeing double. Once the truth comes out, the play ends with at happy departure of the actor and his wife back to France. At the very end, before the final bows, the characters preform a really fast, two minute recreation of what happened in the play. I cant remember what they are called but they are done after may modern recreations of Shakespeare's plays. It is when the play is done with no dialog and at a very fast pace of a quick overview of what had happened in the play. I found it kind of ironic that they chose to add this on to the end when technically it wasn't a Shakespeare play but made reference to one.
