Using Shakespeare’s A Comedy of Errors as its basis, this mad-capped musical farce is the first time this play was set to music. Two sets of twins travel to Ephesus to find their brothers from whom they were separated during a shipwreck. Mistaken identities result in mischief, confusion and hilarity as the situation unravels before the audiences’ eyes.
Provided by arrangement with Rodgers and Hammerstein.
