The Comedy of Errors

Information for The Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, West End (Play). Sets of twins, hilarious storytelling and wonderful humanity in the Bard's comic masterpiece and shortest play. Naturally, there are two cases of mistaken identity to deal with in this tale of 24 hours in the life of two sets of twins. From Kabul, Afghanistan. Roy-e-Sabs is a theatrical miracle. In 2005, the group performed Love s Labour s Lost in an ancient garden in war-ravaged Kabul, close to where the founder of the Mughal Empire lies buried. The controversial production saw men and women acting together, the women occasionally not wearing headscarves, and lovers holding hands -truly audacious things to rehearse and perform in modern Afghanistan. For the first time, the group is leaving Kabul to perform at the Globe with a new production of The Comedy of Errors. Until it was attacked recently, Roy-e-Sabs were rehearsing the production in the British Council compound in Kabul. Their performance promises to be a great moment of celebration, created under conditions that most European theatre makers can barely imagine. They are planning to open the production in spring 2012 in India before travelling to London. Performed in Dari Persian. Part of Globe to Globe 2012 - World Shakespeare Festival
