A Comedy of Errors

This quirky adaptation of William Shakespeare's tale features individual actors not only portraying multiple roles each, but all manner of props, set pieces, and scenery as well. You heard right, a character needs to sit? An actor becomes a chair. A scene takes place on a ship doomed to crash onto a rocky shore? Actors become the ship, the rocks, and anything else needed for the scene. Though not frequently produced, Comedy of Errors is considered to be one of Shakespeare more farcical of comedies. It is the slap-stick adventure of two sets of identical twins switched at birth, and shipped to far-off lands, leading to mishaps of mistaken identity, infidelity, burglary, a little insanity and much, much more. From the limitless imagination of Q Artistry's Artistic Director Ben Asaykwee—the mind that brought Indianapolis Zirkus Grimm, Cabaret Poe, and Perry Haughter and the Magical Musical—his Comedy of Errors is sure to be an epic event. “It's a director's dream to work with this cast of awesome actors,” Asaykwee said. “This is the first Shakespeare I've directed and I can honestly say my experience with this talented group of individuals (cast, crew, and ETC as a whole) has ensured that it most certainly will not be my last as long as I can line up such a dream-team to produce it. Audiences are going to have a blast.” Catch this truly unique show before it sails away—on a ship made of people that is!
