Critic and Audience Reviews
-Matthew J. Palm, Orlando Sentinel"At Orlando Shakes, that action is plenty madcap with a Mardi Gras flair. Director Jim Helsinger, who keeps things trotting along briskly, has located the tale of two sets of twins in 1920s New Orleans, and the good times are rolling."
-Matthew J. Palm, Orlando Sentinel"...This 'Comedy of Errors' serves up enough fun to make a diverting trip to the Big Easy worthwhile."
