Following government advice, Storyhouse will be temporarily closed from Tuesday 17 March. We are not yet sure how long this will be for, but this does affect a number of events, shows and screenings.
RSC Live: The Comedy of Errors has been cancelled. We will be in touch directly with all bookers to arrange refunds imminently.
We are humbled by the support of our staff, volunteers and wider community and thank you for your patience as we work through each event and contact all customers.
Remember to stay safe and look after each other.
A man arrives in a strange town only to find that everyone knows his name, but thinks he’s someone else.
“So I to find a mother and a brother
In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself”
How do any of us really know who we are? A man arrives in a strange town only to find that everyone knows his name, but thinks he’s someone else. A woman wonders why her husband is not the man he was, but starts to rather like it. Confusion mounts as everyone uncouples from themselves. Will they ever find themselves again? And do they really want to?
Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, a fairytale farce of everyday miracles, mistaken identity and double vision, is directed by comedy master Phillip Breen (The Provoked Wife2019, The Hypocrite2017, The Merry Wives of Windsor2012).
Miles Jupp will make his RSC debut as Antipholus of Syracuse in The Comedy of Errors.
