14:00, Tue 16th – Thu 18th June 2009 at Caius Court, Gonville & Caius College
Easter May Week

The Comedy of Errors is a fast-paced farce that tells the story of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-incestuous seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession. This is Shakespearean comedy at its best and will make for a fantastic May Week show in the grounds of Gonville and Caius College.
