WITH A TOUCHING PERFORMANCE OF A COMEDY OF ERRORS

Tickets are now on sale for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s hilarious and touching production of The Comedy of Errors – which comes to the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford from 2nd to 6th November, after an outdoor summer run in Stratford-upon-Avon.

The production, directed by Phillip Breen, was due to be part of the RSC’s 2020 season, but was postponed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 17-strong cast includes members of the original acting company, with a number of roles recast. The 2021 production of The Comedy of Errors is sponsored by Darwin Escapes

The Comedy of Errors tells the story of a father who ends up in the wrong country on the wrong day as a government makes hasty proclamations about travel. A lonely son, while searching for his brother, loses himself. Across town a wife starts to realise her husband is not the man she thought he was (but rather likes it). Will anything ever be the same again?

Director Phillip Breen told Leeds Guide:
“When we first conceived of this Comedy of Errors back in 2019, we had no idea that the production would welcome the RSC’s audience back from a global pandemic. But this play of family reunions – people finding each other once again, people holding each other at sunset – seems entirely apt for this moment, and we can’t wait to get back to work with this fabulous company of actors; with this old play on a new stage for this very new world.”
