"Shakespeare's most famous comedy is rooted in tragedy. Within the first quarter of an hour we meet a young woman confronting the horrific possibility that her twin brother is drowned, a young man in an agony of rejected love, and a household servant who believes fate has made him a slave when he should be a lord. The genius of the play lies in how the author weaves these stories together in the music of comedy, while the principle characters experience life though the grating noise of tragically unfulfilled desires, self deceit and constant humiliation. This emotional juggling act could only have been pulled off by a great writer at the height of his power. The Chronicle Theatre Company is proud to offer its audience one of the world's greatest plays in a simple, lean and accessible production suitable for all ages and dedicated to clarity, honesty and laughter."- Bill Alexander
