Adapted by Christina Anderson

Directed by Devin Brain

Shakespeare’s quintessential comedy, this farcical tale of separated families and mistaken identities delights audiences young and old. Antipholus and his servant, Dromio, travel in search of a long-lost family member, only to get mixed up in a madcap race against the clock, love-at-first-double-take, run-ins with local law enforcement, and double trouble – times two.

This adaptation/translation by Christina Anderson was commissioned by the Play On Shakespeare program, which was initially run by Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The program selected contemporary playwrights and tasked them with “matching Shakespeare’s linguistic rigor as they approached the text, preserving rhyme, rhythm, metaphor, meter, imagery, symbolism, rhetoric, and the structure that make Shakespeare’s plays engaging and accessible to today’s audience.”

Content Warnings: Loud noises, stylized stage violence, discussion of mature content (adultery, etc.). No nudity or graphic sexuality.
