The Marin Shakespeare Company presents "The Comedy of Errors," adapted and directed by Michael Gene Sullivan. This production reimagines Shakespeare's classic farce by setting it in the era it was originally performed, but with a twist: a rogue women's acting troupe takes center stage. Sullivan, known for his work with the San Francisco Mime Troupe, infuses the play with his signature satirical edge, creating a raucous and thought-provoking comedy. The narrative explores the hypothetical scenario of women in Shakespearean England defying societal norms to perform on stage, portraying both male and female roles with exuberance and defiance. The cast includes Wilma Bonet, Keiko Shimosato Carreiro, Emily Cummings, Valerie Fachman, Elizabeth Jones, Asha Bagal Kelly, Charisse Loriaux, and Rebecca Pingree, each bringing their unique talents to this innovative production. The artistic team features contributions from stage manager Anthony Aranda, set designer Nina Ball, lighting designer Jon Tracy, costume designer Tammy Berlin, sound designer Ben Euphrat, and fight director Dave Maier, among others. This rendition of "The Comedy of Errors" promises a blend of humor, historical reflection, and a celebration of the untold stories of women in theater.
