The Comedy Of Errors

Olivier Theatre London

The Olivier Theatre in London  is the current theatre venue for the play The Comedy Of Errors


The Comedy Of Errors, William Shakespeare's furiously paced comedy will be staged in a contemporary worldat the Olivier Theatre in London into which walk three prohibited foreigners who see everything for the first time.


Two sets of twins who were separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a very grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio who, in search of their brothers, arrive in a strange land entirely foreign to their distant home. A buzzing metropolis, to the outsiders it appears a place of both wonderment and terror, where baffling gifts and unexplained hostilities are everywhere.


Consistently recognised by total strangers, the visitors question their very selves as the turmoil escalates. Meanwhile, Aegeon, father to the Antipholus twins, has been captured searching for his sons and, as an illegal immigrant, is sentenced to be put to death at sunset.


Lenny Henry plays Antipholus of Syracuse in this production.
