La Comedia of Errors at Marin Shakespeare Company

A bilingual, joy-soaked adaptation brimming with music, physical comedy, and cultural collision, this vibrant production envisions Shakespeare’s tale of mistaken identity as a telenovela, creating fast, funny, multilingual celebration for all ages.

Artistic Director, Jon Tracy, says “This production is built to delight—a whirlwind of mistaken identities, surprises, and pure chaotic fun. But what excites me most is the deeper invitation it offers. La Comedia of Errors asks what it means to belong, and how we recognize ourselves in one another. In a moment when questions of home and identity feel especially present, it reminds us that everyone deserves to be seen, claimed, and welcomed.”

Directed by Karina Gutiérrez, La Comedia is an adaptation by Bill Rauch and Lydia G. García of William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors based on the Spanish translation La Comedia de los Enredos by Alfredo Michel Modenessi of a Play on! translation commissioned by Oregon Shakespeare Festival, And Marin Shakespeare Company’s production brings together an award winning creative team with a dynamic ensemble cast to tell a story that is both timeless and newly resonant and welcoming.
