The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare's earliest and most unbridled comedies. Belly laughs aplenty are found in the yawning gulf between the careful symmetry of the play's structure and the whirlwind of its riotous plot. Stocked with multiple sets of identical twins (constantly mistaken for each other, of course) and laced with giddy wordplay, The Comedy of Errors offers a brilliant glimpse at Shakespeare beginning to come into his own as a master dramatist. Location: Shakespeare & Company, 70 Kemble Street, Lenox, MA 01240 Time: June 26 - September 4 (Wednesday through Saturday at 12:45pm) Phone: 413-637-3353 Link: general@shakespeare.org
