Comedy of Errors

"The Comedy of Errors" will be staged in Chalberg Theater on the Brainerd campus of Central Lakes College on Tues., Feb. 1 as the first event of the spring Cultural Arts Series. The performers are from the Acting Company from New York City in association with the Guthrie Theater of Minneapolis, which premiered the show on Jan. 8. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. for Shakespeare's 90-minute story about mistaken identity, which was first performed around 1594 in London, England. Shakespeare often employs disguises and gender flip-flops as one of many devices to craft his stories but in The Comedy of Errors this technique is the spine of the play, the center where the characters, setting, and story originate.
