A story of two sets of identical twins, that were accidently separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio of Syracuse arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers - Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and family of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on hilarious misunderstandings ensues.

Reviews
- Terry Grimley on The Comedy of Errors
I sometimes wonder why schoolchildren are so often force-fed my least favourite Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet, when The Comedy of Errors seems a much more fun-filled introduction.
- Lyn Gardner on The Comedy of Errors
The Young People's Shakespeare project is doing what others have done before, but hopes to do it better. This 80-minute Comedy of Errors brings together director Paul Hunter of Told By an Idiot with some of the actors from the RSC ensemble currently performing As You Like It in Stratford. They appear to be having a riot of a time.
