There will be one 15-minute intermission.

Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors is a riotous tale of mistaken identity. Two sets of twins, separated at birth, unwittingly cross paths in the town of Ephesus. Hilarity ensues as townsfolk confuse one twin for the other, leading to comedic chaos. From Adriana’s confusion over her husband’s behavior to Dromio’s antics, the twins navigate a topsy-turvy world where madness reigns.

With its comedic misunderstandings and absurd situations, The Comedy of Errors promises laughter and entertainment!
