Shakespeare’s shortest and funniest play, performed in the beautiful grounds of Samares Manor. This colourful, lively and sparkling production has something for everyone; physical comedy, music, dance, magic and, of course, the Bard’s beautiful words.

The Comedy of Errors is a seemingly straightforward tale, with the action taking place in the course of a single day. After both being separated in a shipwreck from their twins, Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse have scoured the world to find their long lost brothers. They arrive in Ephesus blissfully unaware that their twins live there. The new arrivals trigger a series of hilarious incidents of mistaken identity which leads to accusations of infidelity, insanity and theft.

Will they finally find their twin brothers? Will they be reunited with their parents? There’s only one way to find out!

Bring your family, bring your friends, bring a picnic and laugh until your sides split.
