The Comedy Of Errors (abridged version)
by William Shakespeare. directed by Ludy Cardoso de Brito (MFA 2)
About the Show
The Comedy of Errors, is a Shakespeare classic involving two sets of identical twins with multiple identity confusions. In a tragic series of events, they are separated by a shipwreck and end up in rival cities. After twenty years apart, they inadvertently cross paths on a bustling dock, where justice is rough and disorder thrives. What follows is utter chaos including marital assumptions, Doctor Pinch - schoolteacher, conjurer, and would-be exorcist - and much reconciling and pardoning as we uncover the many mix-ups in this wild web of identity assumptions!
