The Comedy of Errors (RSC) @ The Lydia & Manfred Gorvy Garden Theatre
August 19, 2021
‘Capitalism!’ crooned the four-strong Chorus who provided an acapella doo-wop score for Phillip Breen’s Comedy of Errors. Errors isn’t a play which demands a subtle approach, and the singers identifying the core interpretive ethos of this production offered a nice punchline, as on-the-nose as the punches that repeatedly landed on both Dromios’ faces. In a …
The Comedy of Errors (Pendley Shakespeare Festival) @ Pendley Manor
August 11, 2014
The Pendley Shakespeare Festival is one of the grandest exemplars of the British tradition for summer amateur Shakespeare performed outdoors. Now in its sixty-fifth year, the Festival boasts an extraordinarily beautiful setting in the grounds of a 4* hotel that also plays host to a flock of peacocks, covered seating stands for some 400 audience …
The Comedy of Errors (Fine Frenzy/New Theatre) @ The New Theatre, Nottingham
June 4, 2013
The privilege of student theatre is the freedom to experiment. Nottingham’s New Theatre, the only completely student-run theatre in the UK (and, coincidentally, the only theatre I can get to within two minutes of leaving my office) has one of the most extensive and wide-ranging programmes of classic and new writing around, and the sheer …
Digital Programmes – The Comedy of Errors (NT Live)
March 11, 2012
Writing about web page http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/?lid=49018&utm_source=wordfly&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NTLiveNewsletter080312-Tess&sSourceCode=5371 When I attended the live screening of The Comedy of Errors last week, I was disappointed to find that only free cast lists were available in the foyer – there was not the opportunity to buy a physical programme, as available in the theatre. However, I realised yesterday that the …
The Comedy of Errors (NT Live) @ The Broadway, Nottingham
March 1, 2012
Writing about web page http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/67933/productions/the-comedy-of-errors.html The NT Live juggernaut rolls on. Now well-established as a theatrical/cinematic event, it was a pleasure to see the enormous Screen 1 of Nottingham’s Broadway cinema packed out with a lively audience for the latest offering, a broadcast of Dominic Cooke’s hugely successful The Comedy of Errors, which I missed …
The Comedy of Errors (Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory) @ The Tobacco Factory
March 31, 2011
Writing about web page http://sattf.org.uk/index.php?id=165 The Comedy of Errors is one of those few plays that fail to disappoint onstage. It’s inherently funny, fast, short and complex, and it’s hard to remove the basic entertainment value from it. However, the slew of Comedies I’ve seen over the last few years have shared what is, perhaps, …
The Comedy of Errors (Propeller) @ The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry
February 10, 2011
A roar of dissent rose in the foyer of the Belgrade Theatre during the interval of last night’s Comedy of Errors, as the tannoy politely requested that audience members resume their seats for the second half. The roar came, however, not from reluctant audiences, but from the theatre company themselves. The men of Propeller had …
The Comedy of Errors @ Shakespeare’s Globe
July 28, 2010
That’ll teach me to let the weather affect my theatre-going. I was booked in to see the Globe’s touring production of Comedy of Errors at Coventry Cathedral on Monday night, but after a very poor work day and with the weather looking extremely gloomy, I decided to pass on my tickets. The plan was, instead, …
Another Comedy
November 27, 2009
Nice to see Errors so popular at the moment! The Royal Exchange’s Macbeth was one of the more interesting Shakespeares I saw this year, so I’ll definitely be back for their new Comedy of Errors. And the fact it’s directed by a new RSC Associate Director is worth noting, it’ll be interesting to see how …
The Comedy of Errors (RSC Young People’s Shakespeare) @ The Courtyard Theatre
July 12, 2009
Since the launch of the "Stand Up For Shakespeare" manifesto a couple of years ago, the RSC has been remarkably tenacious in promoting its educational work alongside its core productions. While always an important part of the company’s remit, the Education Department has recently stepped confidently into the limelight, with events such as the Regional …
