Jesus College Shakespeare Project:

The Comedy of Errors

 

We are delighted to announce that booking is open for The Comedy of Errors, the inaugural production of the Jesus College Shakespeare Project. The project is a new collaboration between the Access and Development Teams in College, and you can find out more on pages 74-75 of this summer's edition of Jesus News.

 

A young man is on a quest to find his long-lost family. After years of fruitless searching, he arrives in Ephesus to find that every stranger he comes across greets him by name and is proffering him lavish gifts. There's also the small matter of the women who claim that they are his wife and his mistress... throw in a sinister loanshark, an exorcist, and a nun with a secret: welcome to a madcap day of identity crises and double trouble!
