“EXTRAORDINARY…Alex Brightman and David Fynn, playing Dromio of Syracuse and Ephesus respectively, are far and away the comedic hearts of this production.” —DC Theater Arts

“BRILLIANTLY PERFORMED…This production is a do-not-miss.” —MD Theatre Guide

“HILARIOUS…Safe to say not a single eye was dry in the Klein Theatre—from laughter, that is.” —Georgetowner

“BRILLIANT ACTING…The cast in this production is uniformly superb.” —Georgetown Dish

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Simon Godwin

Confusions collide in this hilariously illogical comedy. Lookalikes Alex Brightman (School of Rock on Broadway) and David Fynn (School of Rock on the West End) come together as Dromio and Dromio (respectively) to add a splash of rock ‘n’ roll to Shakespeare’s most deliriously funny play. Artistic Director Simon Godwin (Much Ado about Nothing, Macbeth) directs this raucous reflection of families lost and found, topsy turvy love, and the utterly human desire to belong.  

Runtime: Two hours and ten minutes with one 15 minute intermission.
