Since 1973, the Errington Farmers’ Market has served the communities of Errington, Coombs, Hilliers, Whiskey Creek and Parksville.

Constance Ledbelly falls down a rabbit hole. In this exuberant comedy, a drab and dusty academic deciphers a cryptic manuscript she believes to be the original source of Othello and Romeo & Juliet and soon crashes down into the plays themselves.
