Show Synopsis:
Identical twins were separated with their identical twin servants at birth, and when the master and servant from Syracuse journey to Ephesus, a comedy of errors ensues. Luciana begins to fall in love with her brother-in-law's twin brother, and Antipholous and Dromio of Ephesus get locked out of their own house because their twins are already inside. By the end, only their father's confession about separating them can save them from death as punishment for criminal acts of tricking officials. 	

Character:
Chief Courtesan, a confident woman past her prime who does not care when people don't like her; loves when men are interested in her; knows the power she holds over the men in Ephesus.

Song Context:
The Chief Courtesan is tired of the ridicule and teasing she gets from the women in Ephesus, because though she likes her profession as a "woman of the night," she would really like to find a nice and honest man to settle down with.	

Fun Facts:
1) The Boys From Syracuse is the musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, which, as a whole, focuses a lot less on the female characters and their desires. 
2) Diogenes was a Greek philosopher who staged extravagant stunts to prove that virtuous men were revealed through actions in corrupt society. One of these stunts was carrying a lanter on a stick in broad daylight and telling people he was looking for an honest man. 
3) Popular television actress Jackee Harry played the role of the Chief Courtesan in the 2002 Broadway revival of The Boys From Syracuse.
