The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s quintessential comedy, and The Acting Company’s translation breathes new life into the jokes and wordplay. The story unfolds in the Mediterranean city of Ephesus, where two sets of identical twins — both separated from their other halves at birth — unknowingly cross paths, and chaos, mishaps and misunderstandings abound. Wortham Center for the Performing Arts, 18 Biltmore Ave. in downtown Asheville, on Friday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets: $55; Child (age 15 and under) $22. Group rates available. 828-257-4530 or worthamarts.org.
