Shakespeare in the Park: cast announced

The Public Theater have announced the complete cast for the 2013 season of free Shakespeare in the Park at the Delacorte, which will present The Comedy of Errors and a new musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Love's Labour Lost.

The Comedy of Errors concerns two sets of identical twins who were separated as children and now live as master-servant pairs in rival neighboring cities. When one pair crosses the border to find the other, so begins an exquisitely enjoyable mess of mistaken identity, wrongful imprisonment, questionable flirting and general mayhem.

The creative team features sets by John Lee Beatty, costumes by Jennifer Moeller, lighting by Jeff Croiter, and sound design by ACME Sound Partners.

In Love's Labour Lost the King and his best buds decide at their five-year college reunion to swear off the joys of women. But when four cute, clever girls from their past show up, they're forced to reconsider all of that nonsense!
