Photo Flash: Hartford Stage Presents A COMEDY OF ERRORS

22 actors. 2 pairs of twins. 1 crazy day. Shake the midwinter blues away with Shakespeare's zaniest comedy, performed by a lively ensemble of actors, singers, dancers, musicians and acrobats. Opa!

Tresnjak sets The Comedy of Errors on a sun-kissed island off the coast of Greece in 1965. The production will feature both international songs from the era and exotic dance numbers. The Bard's zaniest comedy, in which two sets of twins separated at birth find themselves in the same city on the same day, leads to a string of mistaken identities, over-the-top slapstick and false accusations.

Tresnjak's Hartford Stage credits include the musical Anastasia, due to open on Broadway in April; A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (winner of four 2014 Tony Awards, including Best Direction of a Musical for Tresnjak), currently in the second year of its national tour; Rear Window; Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. Other recent credits include The Killer (2014 Obie Award for Direction) at Theatre for a New Audience and The Ghosts of Versailles and Macbeth at LA Opera.
