The
Comedy
of
Errors

By William Shakespeare

This summer, Shakespeare in the Park visits the Mediterranean coastal town of Ephesus, dressed in its most rad vintage attire.

What's going down in Ephesus?

When Antipholus and Dromio from Syracuse get mistaken for the Antipholus and Dromio that live in Ephesus, hilarity ensues.

With one twin being mistaken for the other over and over, jewellery being misplaced, money disappearing, Adriana thinking the wrong Antipholus is her husband, and more than one person trying to leave town before things get too crazy, everything that can go wrong does.

We hope you'll join us in the parks this summer!

Word from the Director

Thank you so much for coming to Hubcity Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park for 2026, The Comedy of Errors!

It has been such a delight to direct this production with a local cast and crew. The entire rehearsal process has been full of laughter, joy, and collaboration, and I know you'll see all the effort these fine actors have put in.

Having been on the stage with Hubcity Theatre numerous times, as well being in film, on other stages, and behind a mic, I know what a joy it is to bring a character to life in a performance, but especially during Shakespeare in the Park. I'm so proud of what my performers have accomplished, and I hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to Ephesus!

–Samuel Grove

But, she is currently based in Toronto as an in-coming third year acting student at University of Toronto and Sheridan College’s Theatre and Drama Studies joint program.

She has played multiple roles with the company, such as: Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, and Lucius in Julius Caesar. This summer she is thrilled to whip out the floral shirt and take on Shakespeare’s timeless comedy.

  • Mark McPhee

    Antipholus of Syracuse

    How does one return to a play you've already been in? Another part to play, another night to play, sure. But to return... I suppose one could note it is not in error; but maybe it is. Error, much more in Shakespeare's time than ours, doesn't just mean mistake, but can also mean wandering, like an errant knight in quest of a holy icon or a fair maiden's favour. My character, Antipholus of Syracuse has spent much of his time seeking out family, wandering the world in search of them. Much time has passed since I played his brother, Antipholus of Ephesus, and taken part in that humorous yet joyful reunion. And I suppose this playful exchange is another joyful reunion between me and my former and current brother. But I remember my aunt Kathleen, who played Egeon in that production, ten years ago. And now I return, and she is gone. Her part, taken by another, talented actor. How does one return? Perhaps by noting that we must make mistakes to play our parts well, to find our true purpose, and further, that all that wander are not lost.
