Watch a free performance of "Comedy of Errors," a dizzying comedy of mistaken identity, as Antipholus and his servant Dromio journey from their hometown of Syracuse in search of their long-lost twin brothers. Their arrival in the foreign city of Ephesus sets off a farcical chain of mishaps as the twins are mistaken for each other, resulting in a climax of comedic chaos only Shakespeare could devise.

(Locations are listed at the end of the release.) The New York Times calls the magically touching and absurd Clean House “…one of the finest and funniest new plays you’re likely to see…” Mathilde, recently orphaned due to a very funny joke, hates to clean, but is hired as a maid. As the play unfolds and the house and life show their messier sides, Mathilde helps a doctor, her sister, her husband and his lover put their lives in order, in this intriguing blend of fantasy and realism.

Martha, the daughter of the college president, much to the consternation of her husband, George, a "forty something" professor of history, invites for late night drinks a newly arrived on campus and ambitious young academic, Nick, and his naive wife, Honey. Fueled by prodigious consumption of alcohol, George and Martha ensnare the guests in their no holds barred verbal warfare during which the deepest confidences are betrayed, facades of civility ripped away, pretension and self respect destroyed. And yet the curious alliance of George and Martha survives the maelstrom of their drunken Saturday night and gives promise of redemption in the dawn of Sunday morning.
