The Comedy of Errors

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Marcela Lorca
May 28 – October 16, 2027 Allen Elizabethan Theatre

A “merry feast” of mistaken identities

A stormy shipwreck separates two sets of twins at birth, a cataclysm that keeps them apart for years. When two of them boldly enter the bustling city of Ephesus in search of their respective twins, their arrival leads to several merrily madcap cases of confusion: wrongful accusations, wrongful imprisonments . . . and, technically, the wrong wives. The topsy-turvy mayhem and slapstick-fueled hilarity never stop in this early Shakespeare romp that has inspired comedies from the 1600s through today. Marcela Lorca (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) returns to direct the vibrant and family-friendly classic about the search for belonging and a place to call home.

Suitability Suggestions
The hijinks of The Comedy of Errors are just plain fun! Although a plot twist involving the town courtesan brings potential for some bawdy comedy, this delightfully silly play is suitable for middle and high school students. Preface recommended.
