2010: Shakespeare with a bite!
Comedy of Errors
The Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre makes Shakespeare’s first play into the ultimate Toga Party for a wildly entertaining and irreverent stomp through Ancient Greece. Identical twin brothers — and their identical twin servants — are lost in a mixed-up world of mistaken identities in Shakespeare’s zaniest play. Great for all ages and a wonderful way to introduce your kids to Shakespeare’s silly side.
