Two pairs of identical twins—separated at birth—spend the day travelling through the same city and only just missing each other. An uproarious farce filled with mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and pratfalls, this comedy shows how all roads lead to home.
Folger favorite and four-time Helen Hayes Award winner Holly Twyford brings brisk energy and sharp focus to The Comedy of Errors. Her lively take on this classic celebrates the simple truth that love, laughter, and community make life richer.
