    Theatre lovers can finally put a date in their diary: a live, outdoor production of The Comedy of Errors is to be staged at RHS Harlow Carr next month.

    Live theatre will make its comeback in Harrogate next month when Shakespeare is performed in the grounds of RHS Harlow Carr.

    The family-friendly adaptation of The Comedy of Errors will be performed as part of Harrogate International Festivals.

    Oddsocks Productions, which is known for its high-energy performances of Shakespeare classics, will tell the story of a servant and master from Syracuse in search of their long-lost twin brothers.

    As the name suggests there are plenty of twists and turns leading to a happy ending which defies all probability.

    The production company is staging the play in the grounds of the gardens on July 6 and 7, and promises lots of audience participation.

    Sharon Canavar, Harrogate International Festivals chief executive, said:

    “As an organisation that is best known for delivering a wide range of cultural events and festivals, the last 15 months have been particularly challenging for us.
    “Oddsocks Productions have been a firm favourite of ours for decades and I couldn’t think of a more fitting play than The Comedy of Errors to help bring some much-needed laughter to the town.
    “So pack your picnic and join the crazy theatre troupe for a festival of music, magic and mayhem.”
