The Comedy of Errors
Theater139 min2021PG
The Royal Shakespeare Company's hilarious production of The Comedy of Errors, set in the 1980s. Two sets of twins are accidentally separated at birth - two masters, both named Antipholus, and their servants, both named Dromio. When one set of twins suddenly washes up on the other's shore a hilarious string of mistaken identity and slapstick antics unfolds. Phillip Breen's radical production of Shakespeare's shortest play is a riotous blast from the past. Featuring Guy Lewis and Rowan Polonski as the masters Antipholus and Jonathan Broadbent and Greg Haiste as the servants Dromio, this production is packed with perfectly timed punchlines and nostalgic physical comedy that will leave you in stitches.
Why Watch This
“The production excels in physical comedy, perfectly timed slapstick, and the delirious logic of mistaken identity, two sets of identical twins, separated at birth, arriving in the same city on the same day. Composer Paddy Cunneen created a blues-infused a cappella score performed live on stage, acting as a narrative engine that punctuates the jokes and heightens the chaotic energy.”
