THE COMEDY OF ERRORS to Open Season at California Shakespeare Theater

California Shakespeare Theater (Cal Shakes) announces the fourth title of its 2020 Season at the Bruns Amphitheater: The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare.

In a change from an earlier announcement, The Comedy of Errors will open Cal Shakes' 46th season, May 27-June 15, and the West Coast Premiere of Aeschylus' The Oresteia by Ellen McLaughlin will follow, running July 8-26. The 2020 season will continue with the world premiere of 1001 Nights (A Retelling) by Leila Buck and Evren Odcikin, August 19-September 6, and conclude with Romeo y Juliet by William Shakespeare in a new bilingual adaptation by Karen Zacarías originally conceived by Karen Zacarías and Henry Godinez. This final show will run from September 23-October 1.

A rollicking and farcical tale of mistaken identity, family separation, and love-The Comedy of Errors relishes in wordplay and slapstick while exploring the eternal question of nature versus nurture.

Season packages for the four-play season are available now; single and group tickets go on sale to the public in spring 2020. Prices start at $132 for a four-play subscription, with discounts available for seniors, youth, and full-time K-12 educators.
