National Theatre Live: The Comedy of Errors
Thursday, March 1: National Theatre Live: The Comedy of Errors.
National Theatre Live: The Comedy of Errors transforms Shakespeare’s fast-paced comedy by staging it in a contemporary setting.

The characters include two sets of twins, Antipholus of Ephesus and Antipholus of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus and Dromio of Syracuse. However, each twin has never met his other twin face-to-face, not realizing the other twin exists. Absurd mix-ups occur when all the twins all meet in the town of Ephesus and chaos ensues.
