AUDITION for The Comedy of Errors (Dryden Society May Week Play)

The Dryden Society's May Week play is looking for actors!

• Fri 20th Mar, 08:00–19:00, Blue Boar Common Room, Trinity College

William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors is famous for its farcical, fast-paced absurdity. It’s a classic twins-separated-at-birth story, except… double trouble! Because it’s not just Antipholus and Antipholus (oh yes, they have the same names- just to make it that much easier) that have been estranged, but their respective servants Dromio and Dromio too. A riot of mistaken identity and fallacious offence ensues when, unbeknownst to them, all four twins end up on the same island.

With the beautiful setting of the Trinity College Fellows' Garden, this production promises to be a riot for audiences and performers alike!
