About the Show

Double the trouble, double the fun! Shakespeare’s A Comedy of Errors is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce filled with mistaken identities, wild misunderstandings, and chaotic comedy. When two sets of long-lost twins unknowingly find themselves in the same city, madness ensues—complete with wrongful arrests, romantic mix-ups, and plenty of slapstick hilarity. Will the confusion ever be sorted out? Join us for an evening of timeless wit, clever wordplay, and non-stop entertainment in one of Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedies!

The play will be performed atop the English gardens and staged with the majestic backdrop of Salisbury House. Nightly performances begin at 7:30 pm with one 20-minute intermission. Gates open at 6:00 pm for seating.

Plastic lawn chairs are provided, however you are welcome to bring your own foldable bag chair, a small blanket and a picnic. Designated blanket areas are limited. Please note that red wine is not permitted on the property. As a fundraiser for the event, our concessions will be selling beer and wine (by the glass or bottle), hard cider, non-alcohol beverages, and ice cream. Cash & credit cards accepted.
