    The Comedy of Errors

    By William Shakespeare. Directed by Dr. Katrina Dunn.

    March 27 - 31, 2024
    John. J. Conklin Theatre, Gail Asper Performing Arts Hall, 3rd floor Taché Arts Centre, 150 Dafoe Road

    Purchase your ticket

    A man arrives in a new city to find that everyone knows his name, but thinks he’s someone else. Believed to be one of Shakespeare's earliest plays, this comedy about separated family and mistaken identity is unforgettably poignant and hilarious. This production sets the action in a high fashion house of mirrors where style is commodity, image is identity, and your reflection may be taking over your life.

    Wednesday to Friday - 7:30 p.m.
    Saturday - 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
    Sunday - 2:00 p.m.
    Runtime is 80 minutes.
