STAGE TALK – The Comedy of Errors
w/ UCLA PROFESSOR MICHAEL ALLEN SPECIAL EVENT
Distinguished Professor Emeritus, UCLA Professor Michael Allen** takes us behind the scenes of one of one of Shakespeare’s earliest and shortest plays to discuss the characters, a farcical plot filled with puns and wordplay, and how much bedlam can occur in a mere 24 hours.
Our 2019 Productions:
Shakespeare by the Sea kicks off its 2019 season on June 13 at Point Fermin Park in San Pedro and running for 10 weeks through August 17 in venues across the Southland.
The Comedy of Errors
Opening June 13
directed by James Rice
A classic Shakespearean romp of mistaken identity-it’s mischief and mayhem galore!
Two young visitors arrive in the city unaware that their long-lost twins already live there. Over the course of a single day, everything that can go wrong does go wrong: a marriage at breaking point, a missing gold chain, an unpaid debt, and a dubious arrest. It’s mischief and mayhem galore!
Henry V
Opening June 20
directed by Stephanie Coltrin
Shakespeare’s most patriotic and inspiring play tells of a young King Henry V who seeks to unite his beloved England. After laying claim to French lands and being ridiculed, Henry marches off to war. Although sorely outnumbered, Henry rallies his troops and, at Agincourt, achieves a decisive victory.
