The Comedy of Errors 

by William Shakespeare

directed by Ben Steinfeld 

music and lyrics by Heath Saunders

part of the Bingham Signature Shakespeare Series
March 4 – 15, 2026
in the Bingham Theatre

Overview

Actors Theatre of Louisville welcomes back New York-based company Fiasco Theater as they combine their joyful, actor-driven approach to Shakespeare with the ingenuity of The Saunders Collective—a family of multi-talented performers, singers, composers and producers. Featuring original music, this collaboration breathes magical new life into the classic madcap farce about two pairs of identical twins, separated in a shipwreck, whose day roaming the same city leads to mistaken identities, cascading misadventures, and gloriously silly comic confusion.

Watch this production of The Comedy of Errors live March 12-15th through the League of Live Stream Theater. Click here to learn more!


“Fiasco is doing justice to Shakespeare in a wholly and excitingly contemporary way…Among its tools are careful compression, deep investigation of character, a pleasure in the gestalt of ensemble work, and a firm believe the that plays are meant to be, well, accessible fun.”

                     —The Washington Post

“The Saunders family taps a compelling vein within the genre of musical theater.”

                     —Theatermania
