A Shakespearian comedy will be performed at a Summerland winery next month.
St. Andrew’s Players, a South Okanagan theatre troupe, will present the comedy at Summergate Winery on Aug. 13 and 14, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Colin Cross, director and producer of the play, said it is one of William Shakespeare’s most accessible comedies.
First staged in 160s, the story involves mistaken identities, cross dressing and more as it recounts the story of twins separated from each other following a shipwreck.
Colin Cross, producer and director of the play, said the winery setting is ideal for a Shakespearian comedy.
“It’s so much fun to see it outside,” he said.
“It’s almost as if the plays were made for the summertime.”
The play will also be staged at Township Winery in Penticton on Aug. 7 and 8 at 6:30 p.m., at the same location on Aug. 9 beginning at 2:30 p.m, at Tinhorn Creek Winery in Oliver on Aug. 11 and 12 beginning at 7:30 p.m. and at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Penticton on Aug. 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 16 at 2:30 p.m.
