Michaelmas Week 8 to Christmas Vacation
ETG is back for 2025! Cambridge University European Theatre Group is an all-student company that has been performing Shakespeare plays to audiences across Europe since 1957 and this year, we'll be bringing fun and fascination to the people with The Comedy of Errors. One of Shakespeare’s most fascinating and hilarious works, The Comedy of Errors is a full-blown farce, set in the mysterious and enchanting coastal town of Ephesus; it chronicles the story of two sets of twins, separated at birth, who cause mayhem when they find themselves in the same city many years later.
Our interpretation of this hilarious romp brings out the punky, youthful, rebellious and subversive nature of Shakespeare. With energetic costumes, thrilling fights and troublesome seagulls, we want to strip back the restriction of the theatrical space, and invite the audience to share in the delight of one of Shakespeare's most electrifying comedies.
