Shakespeare in Ozarks Premiers at Harmon Park

May 15, 2010

OOPS – this performance has been canceled….please visit the website for an update on events.

Shakespeare in the Ozarks will present it’s opening performance of The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare on Saturday, May 15th, at 4:00 PM in historic Harmon Park.

Come to Eureka Springs and enjoy Shakespeare’s first and most accessible play in a beautiful outdoor setting!

The Comedy of Errors is a hilarious mistaken-identity farce involving two sets of twins, set in the mysterious and magical city of Ephesus. In celebration of our fair city, we will transpose the action to Eureka Springs in its heyday – the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. The story and language will be as Shakespeare wrote them; this version will be created by local performers and designers. The result? A uniquely Eurekan production such as you will not find anywhere else in the world! Spread your blanket or unfold your lawn chair and enjoy the intimate ambiance created by the hills, trees, and rock outcroppings in the amphitheater of Eureka Spring’s historic Harmon Park.
