About the show:
One of Will's earliest, it’s a fast and funny show (which inspired , at one point, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum).
Like the most beloved of his comedies, Comedy of Errors plays with mistaken identity, witty banter – and how about a set of twins?
How about two sets of twins?!? Don’t worry – you don’t need to be a twin to audition!
