The Comedy of Errors

Theatre South Carolina at the University of SC will present one of Shakespeare's earliest and most delightful plays, The Comedy of Errors, April 15-23, 2011 at Drayton Hall Theatre.

Shakespeare's wacky tale of mistaken identity centers on two sets of twins, separated at birth, and the commotion they cause when they unexpectedly show up in the same place. When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio, travel to the foreign land of Ephesus, they find themselves mistaken for two others with the same names who turn out to be their identical twins. Mix-ups lead to mayhem as the two sets of brothers, and their frazzled family and friends, try to sort out the mess. It is widely believed that Shakespeare based the story on the work Menaechmi by the Roman playwright Plautus (254 BC - 184 BC).

The Comedy of Errors, Drayton Hall Theatre, April 15-23, 2011Show times are 8pm Wednesday - Friday, 7pm Saturdays, and 3pm on the first Sunday. There will be a half-price performance at 11pm on the final Saturday (April 23).
