Reviews / Votes
Shakespeare's early farcical comedy is clearly designed to entertain and delight. * Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph, 30.06.10 * The more I see this play, the more it strikes me as one of the finest farces in the English language. * Michael Billington, Guardian, 30.06.10 * With its orgy of mistaken identities, The Comedy of Errors is the giddiest and most hairbrained of Shakespeare's plays. * Maxie Szalwinska, Metro (London), 02.07.10 * This ludicrous knot of a plot is so complicatedly hilarious that it takes much wit to untie. * Kate Kellaway, Observer, 04.07.10 *More details
