Comedy of Errors

About the Event

"The Comedy of Errors" is one of Shakespeare’s earliest and most cheerful comedies, revolving around two sets of identical twins separated at birth. As they unwittingly converge in the city of Ephesus, a series of mistaken identities leads to a whirlwind of slapstick humor, romantic entanglements, and comedic confusion. The arrival of Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio of Syracuse leads to a series of comedic mishaps as they are mistaken for their Ephesus counterparts, Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio of Ephesus. The confusion escalates into a whirlwind of wrongful accusations, mistaken identities, and chaotic misunderstandings. Amidst the hilarity, the play explores themes of identity and family with Shakespeare’s signature wit. 

Performances will take place on two weekends: October 18-19, and 24-26 at 8:00 pm, with a matinee on October 20th at 2:00 pm.

Tickets will be $5 for students, $8 for senior citizens and Rice faculty/staff/alumni, $10 for General Admission, and are available at the door starting 1 hour prior to curtain.
