Open-air production of Shakespeare classic coming to Duff House

Duff House is to provide the atmospheric backdrop for a fun-filled evening of Shakespearean comedy this Saturday.

Folksy Theatre bring its open-air production of The Comedy of Errors to the surroundings of the Georgian mansion in Banff.

Historic Environment Scotland (HES), who manage Duff House, are inviting visitors to enjoy this contemporary production of Shakespeare’s classic farce, believed to be one of his earlier plays.

A HES spokesman said: "A tale of mishap and mistaken identity, The Comedy of Errors follows the journey of two pairs of identical twins who are separated at birth then unwittingly reunited as adults – with comical consequences.

"Visitors can expect a lively evening filled with Folksy's wonderful live music, audience interaction and downright silliness."

Doors open for The Comedy of Errors at Duff House at 6.15pm on Saturday.

A 10 per cent discount on tickets is available for Historic Scotland members.
