August 4: THE TRAGEDY OF RICHARD II
The King is dangerously out of touch with his kingdom. He raises taxes to support his lavish lifestyle, and cares more about his vanity than the common good. When his cousin challenges him for the throne, it’s a fight the king can’t win. But in losing his crown he gains his humanity and his soul. “I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.”
August 18: THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
Double trouble. Separated in infancy, two pairs of twins are now in the same city, each unaware of the presence of their long-lost counterparts. Hilarity mounts as the look-alikes are repeatedly mistaken for each other – till unexpected reunions bring happy endings for all.
