| A fast-paced (and fantastically funny) comedy causes chaos at Shakespeare's Globe What happens when two sets of identical twins are brought together by chance, years after a shipwreck separated them? Plenty of hilarious hijinks is the short answer — and you can experience them all this summer with The Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare's Globe.
This rave-reviewed take on Shakespeare's shortest comedy — directed by Globe Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes — is a real crowd-pleaser. Not only is it loaded with back-to-back gags (nobody does mistaken identity plots quite like the Bard), it's also a chance to immerse yourself in Shakespeare's London, thanks to an exquisite Elizabethan set and period costumes.
For an even more authentic Shakespearean experience, you'll want to opt for a standing ticket at the iconic open air theatre. This compact comedy presents a fantastic opportunity for Globe newbies try out the Yard, with tickets starting at just £5! And you'll be left with plenty of time to enjoy food or drinks after the show. |
