Shakespeare’s comedy of errors

Shakespeare at Maynardville open air theatre

Its that time of the year again, long summer days mean its time for Shakespeare in the park at the Maynardville open air theatre.

The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare’s short, facical and super-funny play liven up Cape Town’s favourite Open-Air Theatre, Maynardville, from Tuesday January 10 until Saturday 18 February. It’s the perfect event when the weather is good.

Shakespeare meets Kung Fu

The Bard meets Bruce Lee in this high-octane new production inspired by the world of classic 1970s Kung Fu cinema. Two pairs of twins, separated at birth, unwittingly find themselves in the same city, unleashing a series of uproarious misunderstandings, in this most farcical and youthful of Shakespeare’s comedies.

A young creative team, lead by award-winning director-designer duo Matthew Wild and Angela Nemov, will conjure up a bustling, magical Chinatown on the stage of Cape Town’s favorite open-air theatre. Led by Rob van Vuuren, James Cairns and a stellar cast promises to bring this lovable play to hilarious life.

The Comedy of Errors is presented by Artscape Theatre, in conjuction with the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund.
