Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed and abridged by Joe Leat
Set design by Miranda Cattermole
Costume design by Finn O’Grady

Enjoy a double whammy of Shakespearean farce, reimagined for new audiences.

The Comedy of Errors receives a lads holiday makeover as the hilarious antics are transported to a luxury Turkish resort. Two sets of identical twins, separated at birth, are reunited with plenty of slapstick humour and witty misunderstanding to keep the proceedings spicy!

Meanwhile, The Merry Wives of Windsor will sweep you away to a Cornish seaside town, where Sir John Falstaff has got his eye on the wives of two of the community’s wealthiest and well-to-do gents. Not ones to suffer fools gladly, the streetwise wives orchestrate a series of comical schemes and pranks to humble our hapless knight.

Brimming with their original dramatic poetry, the Bard’s playful comedies will lift your spirits this spring.

Suitable for ages 8+
