The Comedy of Errors
The Comedy of Errors
See double this summer as The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare’s madcap comedy about long-lost siblings and mistaken identities, unravels in the Globe Theatre.
Two sets of twins are separated by a shipwreck and end up in rival cities. After twenty years apart, they inadvertently cross paths and set in motion a series of chaotic events that hurtles towards an extraordinary finale. Seeing isn’t always believing…
Globe Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes (The Tempest, 2022; A Midsummer Night’s Dream, 2021) directs.
‘One of these men is Genius to the other;
And so, of these, which is the natural man
And which the spirit? who deciphers them?’
Act V, scene 1

An excellent performance and top marks especially to the actor who played Ariadne who navigated the stage and whole play with a surgical boot and crutches! The only downside was our seats (see below)

A lovely romp. Very lively and amusing. Well acted if sometimes difficult to understand what was being said. It is meant to be confusing!

My daughter is currently studying for her Grade 6 LAMDA exam and was finding The Comedy of Errors difficult to understand, this performance left her feeling confident, the acting was amazing and to experience at The Globe an added bonus!

Loved the Globe. First time there so brilliant. The play was great. Unfortunately I had bad seats and it was very cold. But I still loved it
