The Comedy of Errors: Family, Separation, and the Search for Belonging

A showcase of one of Shakespeare’s earliest plays with Gamm on the Go

Free | RSVP requested

Gamm on the Go will present an abridged version of William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. Enhanced by a lively post-show discussion, the showcase focuses on comprehension, performance, and artistic response to the text. Audience members will learn to engage with theatre not only as entertainment but as a medium of self-expression and civic engagement.

One of Shakespeare's earliest plays and his most farcical comedies, The Comedy of Errors is full of mistaken identity, mischief and lighthearted humor. With an uplifting message about belonging, individuality and family, this play will delight audiences of any age while introducing them to Shakespeare's language and building comprehension skills.

Separated from their twins in a shipwreck, Antipholus and his servant Dromio of Syracuse travel the world in pursuit of their lost brothers only to find themselves taking their place when they arrive in Ephesus. A series of misadventures, slapstick comedy and chance happenings bring a grief-stricken family together again for a second chance at happily ever after.
