The final pair of plays in Theatre by the Lake’s summer season opens on July 26—a Shakespearean comedy with an exotic setting in the main house and a mysterious psychological drama in the studio.
Shakespeare’s farcical Comedy of Errors centres on two sets of identical twins, separated at birth in a shipwreck, who find themselves in the same town.
Opening in the studio on August 1 is something very different—Harold Pinter’s dark and atmospheric drama Old Times.
Anna and Kate were best friends in their younger years. When they reunite 20 years on, it should be a happy occasion. However, Kate’s husband Deeley is unsettled by their closeness and Anna’s possessive nature.
These plays join the four already playing in the main house and studio; from August 4 they will rotate performance days, with all six playing every week until November 9.
