An acclaimed theatre company will be performing one of Shakespeare’s earliest plays at an open-air venue in Dorset.

The company Three Inch Fools will be touring to Dorset with Shakespeare’s farcical comedy play The Comedy of Errors.

It will be performed at Higher Orchard in Sandford Orcas near Sherborne at 7pm on Friday August 16.

Directed by Sean Turner, who previously worked on the critically acclaimed comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong, the production aims to bring a fresh perspective to the classic Shakespeare tale of mistaken identities and miscommunications.

Visitors are advised to dress for all weathers, bring cushions and camping chairs. Gates will open at 6pm for the audience to come along and bring a picnic with a licensed bar also available.

Tickets and further information are available from 01963 220208 or online on the Artsreach website: artsreach.co.uk
