"All the world's a stage..."

The Central Coast Shakespeare Festival announces our 2011 Season:

"The Comedy of Errors" and "As You Like It" ~ both by William Shakespeare.

Grab blankets, family and friends - pack a picnic basket to enjoy while watching live theatre under starry Central Coast skies.

The Comedy of Errors (starts July 14)

Theft, madness, and demonic possession? All this and more await you in "The Comedy of Errors", one of Shakespeare’s earliest and most hilarious plays on mistaken identity. Join the comic chaos as two sets of identical twins, separated at birth meet again in a confusion of crazy coincidence. (The Comedy of Errors is recommended for ages 12 and over.)
