The Comedy of Errors

About The Comedy of Errors

Following a limited run in Glasgow last year, our 5-star show is back. Directed by Dominic Hill, widely celebrated for his fresh takes on classical dramas, the vibrant production features a multi-talented ensemble, live music and audience interaction.

The Comedy of Errors previews at Beacon Arts Centre (19 - 20 Aug) before touring to Scottish Opera's Live at No.40 here in Glasgow (26 Aug - 3 Sep) and Perth Theatre (7 - 17 Sep).

Two identical twin brothers and their identical servants are separated by a shipwreck. Years later, unknown to each other, they all end up on the same island. Before a celebratory family reunion can happen, a series of wild mishaps and delightful mayhem begins – including baffling encounters, false accusations, wrongful arrests, and a near-seduction.

Bursting with joyful energy and slapstick humour, this fast-paced comedy is the perfect feel-good event.  

BSL, Captioned and Audio Described performances will be available in Glasgow.
