Welcome to Commedia of Errors

Commedia of Errors is a bold and dynamic theatre company founded in 2014 and is the creative collaboration of Benjamin Gould and Clare McMahon. We create work that challenges the norm, bringing live performance to unexpected places and making theatre accessible to all.

Our passion lies in connecting with audiences, using the power of storytelling to enrich, entertain, and educate. Whether it’s through innovative new writing, engaging workshops, or performances that break traditional boundaries, we believe in theatre that sparks conversation and connects communities.
