National Theatre Live: The Comedy of Errors

National Theatre Live brings you the best of British theatre, broadcast from London to a world-wide audience via satellite. Shakespeare’s furiously paced comedy will be staged in a contemporary world into which walk three prohibited foreigners who see everything for the first time. Two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. A buzzing metropolis, to the outsiders it appears a place of wonderment and terror, where baffling gifts and unexplained hostilities abound. Lenny Henry plays Antipholus of Syracuse.
