The Comedy of Errors

Director Jason Byrne (Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar) flexes his Shakespearian muscles at the Abbey once again, with a new production of the Bard's mischievous tour de force The Comedy of Errors. A contemporary take on the definitive rom-com, this is a big show with a big cast, among them Charlie Bonner, Susannah de Wrixon, John Kavanagh, Helen Norton and Deirdre Roycroft. As always in Shakespeare's comedies, mistaken identities and delicious confusions abound, as two sets of identical twins, separated at birth, happen to find themselves in the same place at the same time. Previews at the Abbey from Tue 24 March, opens on Tue 31. www.abbeytheatre.ie
