The Prague Chamber Orchestra is a marvelous combination of Old World sound and discipline with a discography that includes Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Bach, Solere, Paganini, and Stravinsky. The Acting Company, America's foremost touring ensemble, presents The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare's most vibrant and sparkling comedy. The shrewd inventive plot relates an intricate and energetic story of two pairs of identical twins in the same household separated by a devastating shipwreck. But as this delightful comedy unfolds, all is not what it seems. Shakespeare's remarkably imaginative staging propels a glorious, farcical romp set in the sumptuous surroundings of the ancient city of Ephesus.
Brilliant comedy abounds.
