The Comedy of Errors

1 Jun 2012 - 4 Jul 2012 / Roundhouse Main Space

Shakespeare's joyful comedy of mistaken identity follows the fortunes of two sets of identical twins, accidentally separated at birth, then miraculously thrown together again. In a town the size of Ephesus, events like these can only lead to confusion.

The Comedy of Errors is directed by Amir Nizar Zuabi. Founder of the Palestinian theatre company ShiberHur, his productions for them include In The Penal Colony (Young Vic) and I Am Yusuf and This Is My Brother (Young Vic), which he wrote and directed.
