Reviews
-
'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
