The Comedy of Errors

Two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city but without meeting. Mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale particularly for Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio. Consistently recognised by strangers, the visitors question their very selves as the turmoil escalates. A buzzing metropolis, to the outsiders, Ephesus is a place of wonderment and terror, where baffling gifts and unexplained hostilities abound. Lenny Henry plays Antipholus of Syracuse in Dominic Cooke’s 2011 production of The Comedy of Errors.
