The Shakes Red Nose Clowns make a journey through Shakespeares Forest, using anything they can along the way!
The Irish aristocrat Violet Gibson, 5-foot-1 with long greying hair, at fifty was an unlikely assassin. On April 7, 1926 she shot Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. She was the only would be assassin to actually hit the great man, grazing his nose with her bullet. Nobody knows if Gibson acted alone. Her ultimate fate is hauntingly sad. Together the director, writers and actors will explore the character of Violet through a synergetic process culminating in performance presenting Violet through the different stages of her life. The Debutante. The Assassin. The Madwoman. Underscored by a soundtrack which unveils her state of mind.
Auditions~ Comedy of Errors. This comedy is one of Shakespeare’s earlier works.
A farcical romp, its humour is based largely on cases of mistaken identity and the resulting confusion which follows.
An ensemble piece, its main characters are a set of twins, both named Antipholus and their servants, both named Dromio, also twins.

"The Comedy of Errors" is a comedic play written by William Shakespeare in the early 1590s. It is one of Shakespeare's earliest works and is often regarded as his most farcical comedy. This production is the first live Shakespearean play to be produced by The Shakes since COVID-19. A real treat and not to be missed.
