“I see two husbands or mine eyes deceive me”
This hilarious comedy of mistaken identity involves a master and a servant who arrive in a mysterious Mediterranean port full of magic, colour and festival. Unknown to them, an identical master and servant already live there.

With two sets of twins on the loose, confusion and mayhem are never far away. This is the play Shakespeare could have written for the Marx brothers – but never did!

Following the recent RSC visit, RopesEnd bring you another chance to see quality Shakespeare at Portsmouth’s Mountbatten Centre. This award-winning “wonderfully inventive” production of The Comedy of Errors played to packed houses at Titchfield Abbey last summer as part of the Festival Theatre season.
