Comedy of Errors

Shakespeare’s sparkling farce is a roller coaster of wit, romance, physical comedy and mistaken identities, as two sets of twins cause mayhem in ancient Ephesus when their lives and loves become almost inextricably tangled.

Shakespeare Live, a charity run entirely by volunteers, has a great reputation, gained over more than 30 years in Wiltshire and beyond, for creative and entertaining productions. Their autumn tour is always a chance to experiment with the plays, and this year’s Comedy of Errors is no exception, with gender swaps and a pared-down cast list adding to the fun in just 90 minutes of lively action.
