Abbey Shakespeare 2001: The Comedy of Errors
|
The Comedy of Errors played in St Dogmael's Abbey from August
8th-11th at 8:00pm. We hope you enjoyed the performance.
Shakespeare's hilarious comedy of mistaken identity reunites two sets of long-lost twin
brothers in the Mediterranean city of Ephesus - but not before they and the
townsfolk have been plunged into chaos and confusion. In the market square,
where merchants trade, mountebanks cheat and courtesans flatter, a series of
bizarre encounters lands one brother in love and the other in gaol - until a
surprising revelation unravels the tangled chain of events and the family is
finally reunited. With nightclub songs composed especially for this production
by Richard Morris and performed live, this was a fast-paced and atmospheric production.
