  The Comedy of Errors .

 Following the success of last year's invitation to the Factory theatre to tour their 

 production of Hamlet to Ripley, Sprite are proud to annouce they will be hosting

 the Globe Theatre's tour of The Comedy of Errors for two nights on the 7th and 8th

 July. Performed on an Elizabethan-inspired stage; a troupe of travelling players

 breathe new life into this delightfully anarchic play, reinventing renaissance touring

 theatre for the 21st century.
