About the show
TBA Theatre presents a swashbuckling re-imagining of Shakespeare's classic comedy, setting all the mistaken identities, mistaken lovers, and madcap mayhem against a backdrop of cutthroat pirates, treasure maps, and sun-soaked adventures. The action unfolds in Tortuga, the most notorious pirate haven in the Caribbean, where the sun is hot, the rum flows, and the laughs are as wild as the waves. The 70-minute show takes place at Hall and is suitable for ages 8+.
Why see this show?
Shakespeare's funniest play gets a pirate makeover — all the brilliant mistaken-identity chaos of the original, transplanted to the Caribbean with plenty of swashbuckling added in. A lively 70-minute show the whole family can enjoy.
