CAMDEN — Camden Shakespeare Festival announces its third season with performances of The Tempest and The Comedy of Errors, to be presented at two separate locations in Camden. The Tempest will be performed outdoors in the Camden Amphitheatre, while The Comedy of Errors will be performed indoors at High Mountain Hall. The season opens July 26, 2016.

The Tempest is about a magician who has been stranded on an Island by his enemies. The magician has a surprise for them when he creates a storm and shipwrecks them to his shore. “This is perhaps Shakespeare most visually stunning play,” says Artistic Director Stephen Legawiec, in a recent news release. “And our production will be full of live music and incredible magical illusions.”

The Comedy of Errors is about two (count ‘em) two sets of identical twins – master and servant – who end up in the same town, unaware of each other. In short, pandemonium ensues. This play is Shakespeare’s only flat-out slapstick comedy, and about it Legawiec said. “It’s just one hilarious gag after another.”

At this time, the Camden Shakespeare Festival is looking for anyone who wants to be involved either on stage or behind the scenes. Contact the company by email at info@camdenshakespeare.org or through the website, camdenshakespeare.org.
