Review: THE COMEDY OF ERRORS at the Barbican
By Stuart King Friday, November 26 2021, 08:24
When two sets of identical masters and servants all find themselves in Ephesus (having been mixed-up and separated years earlier as the result of a nautical disaster) miscommunications and mistaken identities unsurprisingly result. The farcical comedy and slapstick choreography which ensues lays at the heart of Phillip Breen's direction of Shakespeare's best loved early comedy for the RSC, now playing at the Barbican.

Christopher Durang's 2013 Tony Award-winning comedy, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, has just begun a limited run at the Charing Cross Theatre.
