Maximum laughter, mistaken identity — Sport for Jove’s The Comedy of Errors bursts onto the stage this summer.
When: On tour 19 Dec 2025 – 22 Feb 2026
Confusion never looked so good, or so familiar!
Step into the bustling city of Ephesus, where mistaken identities, missteps and mischief collide in Shakespeare’s funniest farce. Families are torn apart, egos unravel, and chaos reigns supreme — but somehow, laughter and reunion win the day.
Sport for Jove’s razor‑sharp, modern take on The Comedy of Errors, under the creative direction of Damien Ryan and George Banders, cranks the volume up on Shakespeare’s comedy, turning wrong turns into riotous fun and rediscovery. Fast, funny and ferociously relevant, this is a night of theatre where getting lost might just be the best way to find yourself.
“Errors will never feel so right — so bring a picnic, sit back, and let the silly season begin with Shakespeare under the stars”
Sport for Jove don’t just do Shakespeare — they reinvent it. Their productions are bold, modern and utterly accessible, shaking off old conventions to serve up stories that feel alive, urgent and laugh‑out‑loud funny. And what better time to enjoy them than during the holidays?
The season kicks off at Bella Vista Farm – the perfect spot for a summer picnic and a cheeky glass in hand, with Shakespeare under the stars – before touring to some of NSW’s most stunning venues. With a stellar cast bringing the chaos and comedy to life, every performance promises big laughs, sharp wit and unforgettable energy, guided by directors who know how to make Shakespeare sing for today’s audiences.
Gather your friends and settle in under the stars or among the gardens. It’s the perfect summer treat: great theatre, fresh air, and the kind of laughter that makes you forget the Christmas chaos. Whether you’re a Shakespeare newbie or a seasoned fan, Sport for Jove makes sure everyone feels welcome — because their shows are about connection, community and joy.
Running through summer with previews, opening nights and plenty of chances to join the fun, there’s no excuse not to get swept up in the madness. Errors have never felt so right — so spread out the picnic rug, pour a cheeky glass, and settle back as the silly season begins with Sport for Jove. No one makes Shakespeare sparkle under the stars quite like they do.
