The 8th Annual FREE Shout-Out Shakespeare Series:
The Comedy of Errors

by William Shakespeare
directed by Dan McCleary
on outdoor stages throughout west Tennessee

September 27 – October 20

generously sponsored by Evans Petree PC in Memphis and The Shakespeare Fund of Theater League of Kansas City

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.
