For the first time in 14 years, Shakespeare’s rollicking farce, The Comedy of Errors, makes a welcome return to the Open Air Theatre.  In this  merry-go-round of mistaken identity, two sets of estranged twins find themselves unwittingly wandering through the streets of the same town, where the men are jealous, the women are furious and there’s a priceless gold chain that everyone wants. 

As broken relationships are slowly pieced back together, order is restored and the final reunion is a heart-warming celebration of love and family.

This new production takes place in 1940's Casablanca, where there's danger on the streets for the strangers in town, and every hep cat's drawn to the sound of swing. 

Running Time: 2hr 30mins (incl interval)
