Synopsis
After both being separated from their twin brothers in a shipwreck immediately after their birth, Antipholus and his servant Dromio travel to Ephesus as part of a search for their siblings. Unbeknownst to either group, the other set of twins lives in Ephesus, and the new arrivals cause a series of hijinks and mistaken identity, resulting in more and more outlandish events, all concluding in an absurd and joyful finale.

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
Directed by
Lukas Brasherfons
Join SYT for The Comedy of Errors this July! Friday, July 21st - Saturday, August 5th.
at the Crane Theatre in Minneapolis, MN (behind the yellow door…)
One day...
One city...
One imminent beheading...
And two sets of identical twins separated by a tumultuous thunderstorm years ago and shipwrecked in separate lands who are destined to spend their lives searching for the happiness only familial reunification can bring.
These are the ingredients for The Comedy of Errors, the wackiest and laugh-out-loud funniest play Shakespere ever wrote. In the most ridiculous farce this side of Noises Off, we meet Antipholus and Dromio, and we also meet Antipholus and Dromio, two sets of twins separated at birth who look so much alike that they cannot “be distinguished but by names” (even though they have the same name? just go with it).
Add to this chaos a romantically-starved housewife, her nerdy sister, a duke cut from the cloth of a Midwestern dad, an elderly convict who keeps urging his own execution (it's honestly kinda awkward), an incompetant exorcist, and a whole host of wild characters inhabiting the strange and spooky land of Ephesus.
Join the SYT summer ensemble for a comedy with a surprisingly relevant class-conscious message, and rediscover the Bard at his greatest height of pants-peeing hilarity.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
