The Comedy Of Errors

NATIONAL THEATRE

Age Guidance
8-12 years

by William Shakespeare
in a new version for young audiences by Ben Power

Am I in earth, in heaven, or in hell?

In a city celebrating carnival, two sets of identical twins seek each other amidst a riot of music and colour. Separated for many years, the brothers face comedic confusion, arrests, and multiple mistaken identities before a final joyful reunion.

Following last year’s vibrant and contemporary adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, this autumn the National Theatre presents a new fast-paced and energetic re-telling of William Shakespeare’s hilarious and moving farce.
