William Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors”

Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” is considered one of the most beautifully crafted farces ever written and one of Shakespeare’s funniest, most enjoyable plays. Shakespeare drew inspiration from the Roman playwright Plautus’ “Menaechmi” and “Amphitruo,” which in turn were based on the Greek New Comedy plays of the 3rd Century B.C.

The story follows two sets of twins, separated in infancy by a shipwreck, who are identical in face and name. When Antipholus of Syracuse sets out to find his twin brother in Ephesus, a madcap series of errors due to mistaken identities and zany slapstick humor. Colorful period costumes, live music and virtual backgrounds will add authenticity to this 80-minute romp that can be enjoyed by the entire family.

The reading is directed by Elizabeth Swain and features cast members Joel Asher, Tristan Boesch, Strawn Bovee, Virtic Emil Brown, Kathy Bell Denton, Tim Fannon, Suzanne Hunt, Julie Lanctot, Conlan Ledwith, Alison Shanks, Sara Shearer, Donald Wayne and Alexander Wells.

The Classical Theatre Lab was founded in 1990 at the Los Angeles Theatre Center to serve as an incubus for classical theatre play development and to allow actors to enhance their craft through engagement with classic plays. Meeting every Tuesday night, Classical Theatre Lab members present individually chosen and rehearsed scenes and monologues in a rehearsal-like environment. CTL’s goal is to promote a love of classical theatre by providing unique and distinctive audience experiences through a culture of diversity, equality, and inclusion.
