Antipholus and his servant Dromio are searching for a long-lost family member, but a twinning case of mistaken identity gets them mixed up in a madcap race against the clock, love-at-first-double-take, run-ins with local law enforcement, and double trouble—times two! It’s The Acting Company's (2/15) new modern verse adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors.
With a tradition of bringing exceptional productions to small towns and major cities across the country for more than 50 years, The Acting Company is known for launching the careers of famous actors including Rainn Wilson, Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone, and Jeffrey Wright. Their commitment to nurturing emerging acting talent is ongoing and rich.
“The Comedy of Errors… [is] full of soaring language, terrific and surprising characters seeking places where they can belong, and people that they can belong to,” said Kent Gash, artistic director at The Acting Company. “Christina Anderson’s vibrant translation of The Comedy of Errors highlights her contemporary syntax while being faithful to the classic original. All the comedy, clowning, hijinks, hilarity, and poetry are delightfully intact.” Don’t miss this surprising and delightful evening of theater on February 15 at 8 p.m.
