"The Comedy of Errors," Interlochen Shakespeare Festival
Join the Interlochen Shakespeare Festival beneath the soaring pines and sunset skies of Upton-Morley Pavilion for an evening that celebrates William Shakespeare’s imagination with a contemporary twist. Reserve your seat for a classic production with slapstick comedy, clever puns, and witty wordplay.
Set in the height of the swing dance era, a mistaken identity upends an attempted reunion in William Shakespeare’s farcical play The Comedy of Errors. Separated from their respective twin brothers in their infancy, Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio set out to locate their long-lost siblings. The duo arrive in Ephesus and are immediately confused with their twins—sparking an outrageous procession of mishaps, misunderstandings, and shenanigans aplenty.
