About the show
One of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors tells the story of twin sons and their twin servants, separated in a shipwreck. The play explores themes of identity, mistaken identity, and family as we find out what happens when the twins find themselves in the same town on the same day. Confusion and mishap ensue as no-one can tell the twins apart, husbands appear to be in love with the wrong person, debts are refused to be paid, and servants lock masters out of their own homes.
In their 41st summer tour, The Festival Players once again bring live original music, comedic chaos, fast-paced story telling, traditional costume, and more, to Shakespeare’s most farcical play.
The performance starts at 7pm in the Medieval Barn. Please bring cushions and blankets if you wish. Seating is unreserved. Bar will be open from 6.15pm.
Free parking at the Barn is limited and should be reserved at the time of booking.

Featuring - The Festival Players
The Gloucestershire-based Festival Players are a talented touring company of professional actors and musicians, renowned for their outstanding open air Shakespeare performances which aim to make The Bard accessible to all. Every summer they take their high energy show to around 60 locations around England, Wales and Scotland – from National Trust properties to London squares, village greens and Scottish castles - as well as appearances at The Three Choirs Festival and Worcester Festival.
In 2012 they took over the UK's longest established outdoor touring Shakespeare company Theatre Set-Up and the combined forces means the new-look Festival Players bring audiences more than 60 years' touring experience.
