Shakespeare’s comedy of separated family and mistaken identity, The Comedy of Errors, is directed by Paul Foster in this new production.

Two sets of twins are separated by a shipwreck and end up in rival cities. After twenty years apart, both sets of twins accidentally cross paths on a bustling dock, and justice, romance and hilarity ensue. Their chance encounter sets in motion a series of wild mishaps and false accusations as the play hurtles towards its finale.
