The Comedy of Errors/La Commedia degli Errori
A bi-lingual play based in a quarantine world, this version of Comedy of Errors will mix a multi-lingual cast in a world of separated families coming together to pursue love over hatred. (Sounds like a world I’d like to live in)

The Comedy of (Zoom) Errors
Presented by Brawling Bard Theater
