Court Theatre opens its 56th season with Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, directed by Sean Graney. The production will run September 16 - October 17, 2010 at Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Avenue.
Innovative director Sean Graney (The Hypocrites) re-imagines Shakespeare's funniest farce about mistaken identity, mental illness, and xenophobia. The story of two sets of twins separated at birth, The Comedy of Errors will be a theatrical event full of energetic slapstick and lyrical comedy, performed by six virtuosic actors. This season opener represents the next step in Graney's exploration of classic farce at Court Theatre, following What the Butler Saw (2007) and The Mystery of Irma Vep (2009).Title: The Comedy of ErrorsDirected by: Sean Graney
