Wed 31 July - Outdoor Theatre - "Comedy of Errors"

Off the Ground Theatre presents The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare “We came into the world like brother and brother, And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.” Shakespeare's joyful comedy of mistaken identity follows the fortunes of two sets of identical twins, accidentally separated at birth, then miraculously thrown together again. In a town the size of Ephesus, events like these can only lead to confusion. This most farcical of comedies is a carnival of clowning and a laugh out loud treat for the whole family to enjoy. So bring a picnic, your friends and maybe even a bottle or two of wine and revel in the antics in Ephesus. “Another triumph for Off the Ground – the company never fails to unearth new, young talent.” ***** The Public Reviews, Peter Pan (2012) Tickets £12 adult, £7 senior citizens, £5 under 21’s For more information or tickets phone 0151 625 2929 or go to www.offtheground.co.uk
