    A delightfully giddy gender-bending remix of the twin shenanigans from A Comedy of Errors with characters from Twelfth Night, Much Ado, and As You Like It jumping in on the fun. Directors and comic actors will have a blast with this one.

    A marvelous feminist Shakespearean comedy bringing the characters we know and love to the stage in a new and fresh way. Well done!
