Shakespeare: The Comedy of Errors

21/08/2014 - 6:00pm
Venue: 
Powderham Castle, Kenton

“Am I in Earth, in Heaven, or in Hell?”

The Festival Players will be performing Shakespeare’s shortest play in the Castle courtyard. This is a brilliant farce of mistaken identities, combined with a few undertones of the dramatic and sinister. A master and his servant arrive in a foreign port which, unbeknown to them, is the home of their long-lost twin brothers.

Open air performance in the Castle courtyard. Bring your own seating...
