Comedy of Errors at Leintwardine Community Centre

In this their 25^th anniversary year, the acclaimed Gloucester-based touring group are visiting Leintwardine Community Centre for the first time. The theatre company’s aim is to “bring classical professional theatre into the heart of local communities at an affordable price” and their lively, entertaining shows performed by a small group of actors are suitable for the whole family, whether completely new to outdoor theatre or regulars at the shows in previous years at Stokesay Castle.

What better performance than A Comedy of Errors to provide laugh out loud entertainment for all ages! Come and witness the comical confusion and chaotic capers of Shakespeare’s hilarious masterpiece.

Once upon a time, two sets of identical twin babies and their parents survived a shipwreck. Fate, however, decreed that the family should be split up, sending the mother one way, the father and one of each twin another, and the final pair a third way … 25 years later, in search of their long-lost family, two of the twins, Antipholus of Syracuse and his manservant Dromio arrive in Ephesus, a city reputedly full of rogues, cheats and sorcerers. Although this is their first visit, merchants greet them as acquaintances, women pursue them as lovers and Ephesus appears to be a place where everybody knows their names!

Leintwardine Community Centre opens its doors from 6.30pm on Saturday 19 August and there will be a fully licensed bar, raffle, strawberries, Pimms, champagne and prosecco as well as food available to buy.

Enjoy the birdsong, shade or sun on the lawns!
