The Comedy of Errors

By William Shakespeare

Directed by John Hendel

Egeon wants to find his long-lost boys.
Adriana wants her husband back.
Antipholus wants Adriana's sister Luciana.
Dromio wants people to stop hitting him.
And everybody just wants to know what is going on around here.

Madison Shakespeare Company presents an outrageous comedy of twinning, grinning, and, after a lot of confusion and plenty of hurt feelings, winning.

Presented outdoors at the Madison Country Day School amphitheater. Bring a blanket, cushion, or chair for best comfort!

Performance will continue in light rain and other typical summer weather conditions. In the event of weather cancelation, guests will be invited back to a future MSC performance.
