Outdoor Theatre: The Comedy of Errors
Join the Handlebards for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors' in the Pleasure Garden.
- Booking essential
Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.
Join the troupe at Petworth House for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘The Comedy of Errors’ like you’ve never seen before. When two sets of estranged twins are brought together on the same island, this classic comedy takes hold, with mistaken identity, music and manic costume changes a plenty.
This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!
Doors open at 6pm, performance begins at 7pm with a short interval. Drinks and light refreshments will be available to purchase on the evening. Under 5s go free, no ticket needed.
