About the Event

Prepare for a summer of slapstick, mistaken identities, and pixel-powered pandemonium! 🍄

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming outdoor production of The Comedy of Errors, with a Foolish twist that blasts this classic farce straight into the Mushroom Kingdom!

 

One of Shakespeare’s craziest comedies, The Comedy of Errors tells the tale of two sets of identical twins separated at birth. When Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse arrive in Ephesus, a city where their long-lost twins live, a chaotic chain of mistaken-identity mishaps ensues. Wrongful arrests, marital mix-ups, and slapstick encounters abound, all culminating in a joyful family reunion for the ages.

 

This year, we’re powering up the madness by setting the tale in a land of warp pipes, Goombas, and mustachioed plumbers. Expect classic characters, farcical Foolery, and a retro arcade aesthetic as our talented troupe brings Shakespeare’s high-energy hijinks to life with a Super Foolish flair.

 

Bring a blanket, pack your mushrooms (the picnic kind!), and join us for a summer full of unforgettable evenings of laughter, adventure, and theatrical magic under the summer sky.

Are there actually two sets of twins? Yes.

Will there be plumbing jokes? Absolutely.

Is this what Shakespeare intended? …Let’s not ask him.

Accessibility Info

Due to the varying terrains of Ottawa parks, there are various degrees of accessibility barriers. We do our best to set up near paved paths so folks with different access needs can still enjoy our performances.
