What It's About
Shakespeare’s quintessential comedy is set against the backdrop of the 1960s! The Comedy of Errors is sure to leave both Bardophile and guy who couldn’t stay awake in English class in stitches. Like, hey, daddy-o — wherefore art thou Dromio?
A stranger arrives in town only to find that everyone knows his name but thinks he’s someone else. In this fast, funny farce believed to be one of the Shakespeare’s earliest (and shortest), everyday miracles, mistaken identity, and double double (oh what trouble!) vision makes for a brisk evening of laughs!
Antipholus and his servant, Dromio, travel in search of long-lost family members only to get mixed up in a high-jinx-fueled race against the clock, love-at-first-double-take, a few jewelry deals gone south, and run-ins with local law enforcement. This madcap whirl through adventures, romance, heartfelt reunions, and a few happy endings will delight all audiences.
Here is a full synopsis/primer for the play and context for our production!
Critic Reviews
[It] moves like an overcaffeinated runaway train, a hybrid of the farce Noises Off! and Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. Yet it’s Shakespeare all the way. – St. Pete Catalyst
