ABOUT SHAKESPEARE AT THE RUINS:

This beloved, nationally-acclaimed collaboration between Barboursville Vineyards and Central Virginia's longest-running community theater returns! Performances will be on-site in the beautiful Barboursville Vineyards, at the historic ruins of Governor James Barbour's mansion, designed by Thomas Jefferson and destroyed by fire on Christmas Day, 1884.

ABOUT THE PLAY:

In THE COMEDY OF ERRORS – one of Shakespeare’s earliest and most fast-paced works – two long-separated twins, their two tricky servants (also twins), a jealous wife, and her lovelorn sister romp through this madcap comedy. Filled with mistaken identities and slapstick humor, this production will have audiences laughing from the first confusion to the last.
