This 90-minute, madcap romp is one of Shakespeare’s ever-popular adventures for all ages. Mistaken identities (two sets of twins!) and extraordinary misunderstandings could explode into violence, but Shakespeare’s comedies always end with marriage and compassion. This story, modernized from ancient Greek versions, remains the world’s fulfilling enchantment of a rarified family reunion.
Running without intermission, this production features 13 actors, including Michael Khanlarian and Lauren Gunn as the four twins. Bring a chair and picnic; first come/first seated.
