The Comedy of Errors - The Festival Players

One of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors tells the story of twin sons and their twin servants, separated in a shipwreck. The play explores themes of identity, mistaken identity, and family as we find out what happens when the twins find themselves in the same town on the same day. Confusion and mishap ensue as no one can tell the twins apart, husbands appear to be in love with the wrong person, debts refused to be paid and servants lock masters out of their own homes. The Festival Players bring an all male cast, live original music, comedic chaos, fast-paced story telling, traditional costume and more to Shakespeare’s most farcical play, in their 2026 open-air summer theatre tour. “I’ve always struggled with Shakespeare but the festival players made it understandable and fun” “We always look forward to the festival players annual visit, everyone has a great time” “The live music and songs add to a great atmosphere” “They worked so hard. an incredibly enjoyable evening” The Festival players are an all male theatre company who have been touring open-air Shakespeare shows for over 40 years. They tour UK wide and Internationally lead by Ross Cooper with original music composed by the acclaimed Johnny Coppin and traditional dress. The Festival Players’s patron is Dame Judi Dench, and the company is committed to presenting the very best in touring theatre, providing an accessible and fun filled enjoyable evening for all types of audiences.
