The Comedy of Errors

Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre 2020 Season

Tuesday 29 September | 8pm

ON SALE NOW TO MEMBERS, ON SALE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON MON 9 DEC.  

A hilarious romp of swapped identities, misguided love, mistaken imprisonment and chaotic mishaps.

Shipwrecked and separated 25 years earlier, two sets of long-lost twins miraculously find themselves in the same city, on the same day. What could possibly go wrong for these bumbling twins?

At the heart of this tale of comedic misfortune is an old man who is searching for his lost children, and has found himself in the fight of his life… to save his life. As far-fetched coincidences unfold, chaotic hilarity ensues and a man’s life could be saved — if only everything would go to plan.

After a day of mistaken identity leading to unfair thrashings, wrongful arrests and false charges of infidelity, robbery,

madness and even demonic possession, can the twins possibly reunite and live happily ever after?

This is a beautiful story about reunion, wrapped up in an evening of entertainment and laughter.
