A Comedy of Errors
04 July 5:00 PM
Back for a third year, Shakespeare’s Globe bring The Bard’s sparkling comedy to the picturesque setting of the Pavilion Gardens.
Take one pair of estranged twins (both called Antipholous) and one pair of twin servants (both called Dromio), keep them in ignorance of each other and throw them into a city with a reputation for sorcery and you have the chief ingredients for theatrical chaos.
Fast-paced, hilarious and seemingly irreverent, the young William Shakespeare explores themes in this comedy that recur again and again in his later work; mistaken identity, coincidence and the importance of family.
Bring your own seat (low-backed, please) or rug. (Please note: if the weather is inclement, the show will either proceed (conditions allowing) outdoors, or will be moved to an alternative indoor venue. In either case, no refunds will be given.) Read more about this event … or
