Melissa Chalsma directs William Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors" in Griffith Park this summer from August 5 - September 6. Two small-town pals find themselves lost and fumbling through a bustling Mediterranean port city. Surrounded by a medley of languages, cultures, and unfamiliar rules, the duo stumbles through mishaps, mayhem, and mistaken identities, only to run into the last people they expect. Infused with hilarious wordplay, wild slapstick, and a rocking original score, Shakespeare’s comedic masterpiece proves that however far you travel, you can always find your way home. Free in Griffith Park.
