Pack your picnic for the summer’s unmissable theatre event. Join us for Theatre Under the Stars, as the University of Wollongong’s Kooloobong Oval is transformed into a magical setting for family and friends, and one of Shakespeare’s most raucous comedies comes to life at sunset.
Australian Shakespeare sensation, Sport for Jove, brings us a modern, razor-sharp take on The Comedy of Errors. Welcome to Ephesus — the great hustling, bustling (with the emphasis on hustling!) metropolis of Europe – the perfect place to lose yourself.
This city pulses with bureaucratic-derangement, cheap thrills and grifter’s magic. Into that milieu, tumbles a family torn apart by war, exile, and rotten bloody luck, but they are given the chance to create their own miracle – to find each other again after decades apart!
Fast, funny, and ferociously relevant, this is Shakespeare with the volume up and the heart wide open, where errors are both chaos and catalyst: a comedy of wrong turns that somehow leads us home. Confusion never looked so good. Or so familiar.
