Outdoor Theatre: The Comedy of Errors
When? 17 July 2022
Where? Mapperton House and Gardens - Beaminster
Castle Theatre Company is delighted to announce its 2022 touring production of one of Shakespeare’s most hilarious plays: The Comedy of Errors.
Combining the farcical dilemmas of mistaken identity with the desperate search for love, this glorious play explores the blissful, chaotic and hysterical reunion of a long-lost family.
‘Antipholus of Syracuse embarks on a journey alongside his right-hand man and trusted companion Dromio. However, both Antipholus and Dromio have identical long-lost twin brothers that live in Ephesus, and, with neither twin-set knowing that the other exists, hilarious accidents ensue. The servants start working for the wrong masters, Antipholus of Syracuse runs into some risky business with Antipholus of Ephesus’ wife, and eventually the townspeople grow suspicious – will the brothers be able to reunite before they are declared mad?
Venue: Mapperton Gardens.
