The Comedy of Errors
Simon Pell returned as director for his second production of The Comedy of Errors, first performed in the castle ruins in 1990. The audience this year arrived at the Bowes Museum - although they could have been excused for mistaking the venue for Turkey, as the stage was transformed into a bustling souk and the entrance to the auditorium wound among stalls selling genuine crafts and metalwork.
Meanwhile, Liz Moss, cast as Adriana, broke her leg during rehearsals. Undeterred she continued in the part, with her crutches coming in useful for reprimanding her errant menfolk!
We were too busy casting our eyes over the magnificent building that we didn't immediately see just what a professional set-up the Castle Players' productions are. - Weardale Gazette
