About the Event:
TSC's offering at the Shell will be our 8th Annual Free Shout-Out Shakespeare Series production of THE COMEDY OF ERRORS -- William Shakespeare's wild commedia of mistaken identities. It will run approximately 90 minutes without intermission.
THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
An exotic farce by William Shakespeare | Directed by Dan McCleary | Generously sponsored by Evans Petree PC in Memphis, and The Shakespeare Fund of Theater League of Kansas City
This madcap romp is one of Shakespeare’s most popular adventures for all ages with rhyming jokes, physical comedy, and outrageous events abounding across one day in this peaceful town on the Aegean Sea. Mistaken identities (including TWO sets of identical twins) and wild misunderstandings could explode into violence, but only the audience knows how joyfully this will end – or do you??
Running swiftly without intermission for 85 minutes, this production features 13 actors, including Michael Khanlarian as both master-twins and Lauren Gunn as both servant-twins.
