The Comedy of Errors is a full-blown farce, set in the mysterious and enchanting coastal town of Ephesus; it chronicles the story of two sets of twins, separated when young, who cause mayhem when they find themselves in the same city many years later. Following the end of their tour, the European Theatre Group return to Cambridge with their electrifying staging of Shakespeare's silly comedy. With energetic costumes, thrilling fights and troublesome seagulls, come and share in the delight of one of Shakespeare's most bizarre and hilarious plays.

The ADC Theatre is Britain's oldest University playhouse, today administered and maintained by the University of Cambridge. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855, when the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (CUADC) was founded, and the society met and performed in the back room of the Hoop Inn, which stood almost exactly where the ADC Theatre stands today.  Today, the ADC Theatre is the centre of University drama in Cambridge, run almost entirely by students with no Faculty involvement.
