On Saturday, August 20th, at 2 pm, HSBC of Ridgefield presents “A Comedy of Errors,” produced by Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival and the Ridgefield Playhouse, on the green near the Playhouse. Shakespeare’s classic, “A Comedy of Errors” is one of the most famous and hilarious plays ever written. Get ready to discover the re-invented, re-invigorated story of two sets of identical twins, separated at birth, that arrive in the same town and unravel the truth through hilarious mishaps and side splitting fun.
Dedicated on communicating the stories of Shakespeare with energy, clarity and invention, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival acting company challenges their audiences to take a fresh look at what is truly essential in Shakespeare's plays. The group has grown dramatically since its first show in 1987. It is now a critically-acclaimed regional theater, attracting audiences of over 32,000 from the tri-state area and beyond.
