The theatre could collapse, the fire alarm could go off but our version of The Comedy of Errors could keep going despite what might be happening around it
Paul Hunter - Director
Young people and teachers deserve the best and we're putting our most imaginative and experimental work into schools. This ethos is at the heart of the company's work.
Michael Boyd - RSC Artistic Director
Digital Theatre go behind the scenes on the RSC's version of The Comedy of Errors for younger audiences.
This farcical, anarchic and most overtly comedic of Shakespeare's plays is given playful and inventive treatment by the company. It's Shakespeare's street show and as Michael says, it's a social experience where actors talk to the audience and vice versa. This production liberates actors, celebrates performance and storytelling and as Paul Hunter describes, it's event theatre where almost anything can happen and it does!
Discover more about the show from Michael, Paul and the company in our documentary, Hand In Hand - exclusive interviews, behind the scenes and rehearsal footage and post show conversation with the acting ensemble.
