• The Comedy of Errors

  June 2023
  Set in the Greek city of Ephesus, The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were 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-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession. Join us in the Fellows' Garden for our May Week play at the end of Easter term!

• The Bacchae

  June 2023
  I’ve always been careful with gods. I praise them. Sing hymns to them. Pay them full attention. Because if you don’t…well, it doesn’t bear thinking about. A charismatic preacher arrives in the city of Thebes, accompanied by his frenzied followers. He offers the citizens a choice: acknowledge him as a god, or face punishment beyond comprehension. Reimagined in the mid-20th century American South, The Bacchae is a chilling and darkly humorous play that prompts difficult questions on what it means to believe, to submit, and to resist.
