William Shakespeare‘s “The Comedy of Errors” — a classic farce of furious wives and confused mistresses retold with a jazz twist — opened Saturday at The Old Globe.
Tony and Emmy Award nominee Scott Ellis makes his directorial debut at the Globe in this 2015 Summer Shakespeare Festival production on the outdoor stage.
The Globe production exchanges the ancient Greek city of Ephesus for 1920s New Orleans and its early jazz scene.
A young man and his servant arrive in the city, unaware that each of them has a separated-at-birth identical twin already there. The unexpected double vision leads to furious wives, confused mistresses, scandalized family members, and general mayhem.
The play runs through Sept. 20. Ticket prices start at $29 and are available at (619) 23-GLOBE on online at TheOldGlobe.org.
