Alfresco Shakespeare coming to Sidmouth's Blackmore Gardens
By Will Goddard 30th Apr 2023
An outdoor production of William Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors is set to be performed in Sidmouth's Blackmore Gardens this summer.
Described as "an alfresco farce for all the family", it will take place on Friday 9 June.
It comes as part of Rain Or Shine theatre company's tour across the country.
A spokesperson said: "Once upon a time, cruel fate decreed that a family should be torn asunder in a violent shipwreck. The mother lost to the waves, the father and one twin and his bondsman one way, and the other twin and his bondsman another…
"Years later, in search of their lost family, Antipholus, and his bondsman, Dromio, arrive in the port of 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 everybody knows their names!
"Pack your bubbly, chairs, and picnics and witness the comical confusion and chaotic capers of Shakespeare's hilarious masterpiece!"
Gates will open at 6pm, with the show starting at 7pm.
