Details

Sets of twins, hilarious storytelling and wonderful humanity in the Bard's comic masterpiece and shortest play. Naturally, there are two cases of mistaken identity to deal with in this tale of 24 hours in the life of two sets of twins. New songs, music, and dance, puppetry, some characters you’ve never met before, and a Punch and Judy show: Antipholus feels like a part of himself is missing. Fearing that he will never be whole he sets off to find his long-lost twin brother. His search brings him to the seaside port-town of Ephesus; a town where, reputedly, dark-working sorcerers and witches roam freely with tricksters and con-men about the streets and where strangers, especially those from Syracuse like Antipholus, are strung up by the neck to die while the town dances on. Antipholus finds more than he bargained for ­ new friends, a wife he doesn’t like, and things about himself he never thought possible.
