Laugh as loud as you want at Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. This topsy-turvy maze of mistaken identity and
major mishaps is a treat for the whole family. One of Shakespeare's funniest plays, The Comedy of Errors also has been
called his most accessible and is filled with surprises and intrigue. The plot revolves around two pairs of identical twins
who are separated during a shipwreck. When all four men end up years later in Ephesus at the same time, the resulting chaos
is the Bard at his best.
