March 5 - 14: The Comedy of Errors, by William Shakespeare

"Take two sets of identical twins, separate them in infancy with a shipwreck, give them the same names, let them grow up far apart, have them finally end up in the same city without realizing it, and what do you have? A maelstrom of marvelous madcap mayhem that only Master Shakespeare could muster! Clad in classical Elizabethan costumes, this crazy comedy will make you laugh until you’re seeing double. "
