Abbey Theatre - Amharclann na Mainistreach

One man is sentenced to death, another finds love. One wife finds her long lost husband, another finds she has two husbands! In Shakespeare’s darkly mischievous The Comedy of Errors, two sets of identical twins are separated in childhood. Years later, they all show up in the same place at the same time. The Comedy of Errors tells the story of a father, mother, brothers, sisters, masters and servants, all of whom find themselves confused, baffled and bewildered by the events of a single day.

The team that brought you the hugely popular Romeo and Juliet (2008) and the soaring production of Julius Caesar (2007), returns to the Abbey with this modern take on Shakespeare’s earliest romantic comedy.
