Shakespeare meets slapstick

A firm favorite of Shakespeare's oeuvre, The Comedy of Errors is a colorful confection of chaos full of witty wordplay, frothy farce, and irresistible anarchy. This bubbly comedy will whisk you to a faraway land where the fortunes of two sets of identical twins opens up a world of romance, seductions, brushes with the law and of course, plenty of instances of mistaken identity! 

Musical theatre lookalikes Alex Brightman (School of Rock on Broadway) and David Fynn (School of Rock on the West End) swap the classroom for the classics as they take to the stage in this Simon Godwin-directed production, opening the Shakespeare Theatre Company's 2024/25 season!

What is the story of The Comedy of Errors?

Double trouble enters the town of Ephesus when Antipholus and his servant Dromio pitch up looking for their long lost twin brothers, also called Antipholus and Dromio, from whom they were separated by a shipwreck long ago. Almost immediately, things unravel, fast!
