Shakespeare AT THE ESTATE
On the Outdoor Stage at the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St., Cape May
“Comedy of Errors” July 14-18, July 21-25: 6PM
One of Shakespeare’s earliest and most vibrant comedies, “Comedy of Errors,” is a zany, madcap romp of mistaken identities. Take two pairs of identical twins, a jealous wife and her love-struck sister, a greedy merchant, a father whose head will be chopped off at sunset, a dim-witted courtesan, a stolen necklace, one angry nun, a greasy kitchen wench and an exorcist. Add in Shakespeare’s brilliant, sparkling language, spiced up with musical surprises, and the result is a concoction of delightful lunacy and farcical delirium. Bring your lawn chair or blanket, arrive early and enjoy an Elizabethan Festival, featuring comedy, music, dancing, performers and a special appearance by the King and Queen.
Tickets: $25 Adults; $20 Seniors; $15 Students (15 and older); Free for kids under 15
A REV Theatre Production, in association with the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC)
