Mobile Unit embarks on a new tour with a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s THE COMEDY OF ERRORS. Conceived by director Rebecca Martínez and composer Julián Mesri, a member of The Public’s 2022-23 Emerging Writers Group, this new adaptation rigorously embraces music from all over Latin America in this tale of separation and joyous reunion. With songs in English and Spanish, this new musical adaptation brings an energetic vibe to this age-old tale of two sets of twins separated by stormy seas as they overcome a baffling case of mistaken identity—and the mayhem and hilarious confusion that follows.
In partnership with NYC Parks Arts, Culture & Fun and Department of Transportation, as well as other key Mobile Unit partners, THE COMEDY OF ERRORS will pop up both outside and indoors at public plazas, parks, and community centers across the five boroughs from Tuesday, May 2 through Sunday, May 21 as part of The Public’s commitment to bringing free theater to all and deepening its engagement with communities around NYC. Following the tour to the five boroughs, a free engagement of THE COMEDY OF ERRORS will run in The Public’s Shiva Theater from Thursday, May 25 through Sunday, June 11.
De gira por los cinco distritos y en The Public
Gira móvil: Del 2 al 21 de mayo; Funciones en The Public: Del 25 de mayo al 11 de junio
Mobile Unit comienza una nueva gira con una adaptación musical de LA COMEDIA DE ERRORES (THE COMEDY OF ERRORS) de Shakespeare. Esta nueva adaptación, creada por la directora Rebecca Martínez y el compositor Julián Mesri, miembro de The Public’s 2022-23 Emerging Writers Group, adopta minuciosamente música de todas partes de Latinoamérica en esta historia de separación y alegre reencuentro. Esta nueva adaptación musical, con canciones en inglés y español, aporta gran energía a esta antigua historia de dos pares de gemelos separados por mares tormentosos que superan un desconcertante caso de identidad equivocada, y el caos y la hilarante confusión que eso conlleva.
En colaboración con NYC Parks Arts, Culture & Fun y Department of Transportation, y con otros colaboradores clave de Mobile Unit, LA COMEDIA DE ERRORES se presentará en espacios cerrados y al aire libre en plazas públicas, parques y centros comunitarios de los cinco distritos desde el martes, 2 de mayo hasta el domingo, 21 de mayo, como parte del compromiso de The Public de ofrecer teatro gratuito para todos y profundizar su compromiso con las comunidades de la ciudad de Nueva York. Después de la gira por los cinco distritos, LA COMEDIA DE ERRORES se presentará gratis del The Public’s Shiva Theater jueves, 25 de mayo al domingo, 11 de junio.
