 In
this dizzying comedy of mistaken identity, Antipholus and his
servant Dromio journey from their hometown of Syracuse in search
of their long-lost twin brothers. Their arrival in the foreign
city of Ephesus sets off a farcical chain of mishaps as the twins
are mistaken for each other, resulting in a climax of comedic
chaos only Shakespeare could devise.
Free Shakespeare in the Park 2009 will be a colorful carnival,
a circus-inspired mixture of juggling, slapstick, and visual and
verbal puns. Enjoy the madness and romance of this Comedy of
Errors.
Resident Director Kenneth Kelleher returns to the park for his
seventh hit season of crowd pleasing Shakespeare! His arresting
visual style and use of music and dance brought rave reviews for
our 2008 production of Pericles,
the 2007 production of A
Midsummer Night's Dream and our 2006 production of The
Tempest.
Fans of Free Shakespeare in the Park will be delighted to see
a number of familiar faces in this 12
actor cast, as well as some talented newcomers to the Festival's
park stage.
Bring your family, friends, a blanket and a picnic to enjoy FREE
professional theater in a beautiful park near you! (If you've
never joined us for one of our shows, here are some tips
you might find helpful.)
