Description

A photograph of the inflatable couch used in A Company of Fools' 2015 production of The Comedy of Errors. The couch is being held by the character of Luciana, played by Katie Ryerson, whose costume was designed by Vanessa Imeson. The couch was lent to A Company of Fools for this production by Jonathan Lockhart, a professor at the University of Ottawa.  A fun fact about this couch is that it ended up popping and they had to use an alternate blue one to finish the season.
