When Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse go to their homeland of Ephesus in search of Antipholus’ long-lost twin, endless confusion follows in their wake…
A.B.L.E.’s teen ensembles have reimagined Shakespeare’s tale of mistaken identity—The Comedy of Errors—in a five-part web series. The ensembles—20 young adults with Down syndrome and other developmental differences—collaborated with a team of teaching artists and volunteer facilitators on the series, which was adapted by A.B.L.E. teaching artist Braden Cleary.
Filmed entirely on Zoom, actors created their own costumes, props, and Foley sound effects using items found in their homes. Each actor played multiple roles throughout the series, giving everyone a chance to showcase different sides of their personalities.
