Modern ‘Comedy of Errors’ by William Shakespeare

Published 2:00 pm Wednesday, February 22, 2012

National Theatre Live On Screen at Orcas Center continues with “The Comedy of Errors” by William Shakespeare on Thursday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Shakespeare’s furiously paced comedy is staged in a contemporary world where two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio who, in search of their brothers, arrive in a land entirely foreign to their distant home.  Top British comedian Lenny Henry plays Antipholus of Syracuse in this National Theatre production live from London.

Tickets are $15 and $11 for students ($2 off for Orcas Center members) and may be purchased on www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1.
