‘A Comedy of Errors’, the Bard’s shortest play, is a farce of mistaken identities, combined with undertones of the sinister.

A master and his servant arrive in a foreign port which, unbeknown to them, is the home of their long-lost twin brothers.

Mayhem ensues as brother is taken for brother in a riotous train of misunderstandings.

The Festival Players promise a production is a colourful and entertaining romp performed by the traditional all-male cast.

Parrox Hall, above, is one of the oldest houses in Lancashire and has been occupied by the same family since before Shakespeare’s day. Its gardens provide a magnificent setting for the performance and an opportunity to enjoy a summer evening picnic.

Gates open 5.45 pm and the performance begins at 7.30pm. For more information or to book tickets (£15, £10 children under 16) call Tracy on 01253 812 209 or go online and follow the link at www.parroxhall.co.uk
