The Comedy of Errors
Pull up a deckchair, grab your "Kiss Me Quick” hat and enjoy a fast paced, colourful version of Shakespeare’s classic The Comedy of Errors, featuring live music and lashings of sun soaked silliness. Fun-House fun for all the family
Welcome to The Phoenix Beachfront Bar, where owners Ant and Adriana serve up karaoke laced with fruity cocktail kicks.
When Ant’s long lost twin brother washes up on shore with his loveable but idiotic mate Dromio (who also happens to be a long lost twin) a hilarious and anarchic adventure of errors ensues. The two sets of twins, plus a host of colourful characters, mysterious merchants, late night lovers, a drag queen and a nun grab the wrong end of the stick (of seaside rock) in a hilarious, helter-skelter comedy of mistaken identity. There’s magic and mayhem, bingo and bunting, candy floss and cocktails, seagulls and slapstick, and where a Punch & Judy show might well end in a punch up.
