From Shakespeare’s longest play to his shortest, from his heaviest tragedy to his most chaotic comedy; following their sell-out run of ‘Hamlet’ in 2022, AdLib Theatre are back at Northwood House this June with an outdoor production of ‘The Comedy of Errors’.
When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio wind up on the shores of Ephesus, everyone knows their names and they suddenly find themselves with wives, girlfriends and gold…but have no idea why.
Meanwhile, the fine and upstanding Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant Dromio suddenly find themselves in hot water with women, merchants and the law…but have no idea why!
What follows is a veritable comedy of errors, a farce in which identities are mistaken, confusion reigns, and lives are turned upside-down…it’s funny and fast-paced, and not to be missed!
Please purchase tickets in advance online (Sorry..no ticket sales on the day)
The performances will go ahead outdoors in most conditions, so come prepared for the English weather, but if rain or high winds prevail, we will move the performance(s) inside of Northwood House…so the show will go on what ever the weather!
