The Comedy of Errors London tickets

Step into Elizabethan London this summer with Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. Back by popular demand, the esteemed production returns to the Globe, transforming it into a bustling 16th century dock primed for a playful time. A story about long-lost siblings and ancient rivalries, complete with an extraordinary cast, this farcical tale of mistaken identity provides a brisk, boisterous and highly comical adaptation of the classic tale. 

What is The Comedy of Errors about?

Thanks to a shipwreck, two sets of twins are separated at birth only to grow up in rival cities and be given the exact same names. When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio travel to the ancient Greek city of Ephesus in search of their lost siblings, chaos ensues as a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications lead to some sticky situations.

Outstanding! A cast with excellent timing who clearly love what they do. A pleasure to watch and a total steal.

Jean Comb

Brilliant production, but difficulty with LTD tickets. Numbers didn't correctly correspond with seating.

Ivan Vatavuk

It was unbelievable! Fantastic cast ??

Julian Smith

Wonderful, funny, farcical (in a good way) performance.

Sharon Boyle-Woods

A thoroughly delightful, high energy production---worth standing in the rain for!! Well, as far as we could tell from our covered seats, none of the crowd standing left when it started to drizzle. We all commend the cast and creative team for a wonderful evening.

ELEANOR HUDSON

Absolutely brilliant- fun, entertaining, innovative production - brilliant to see live music too. Uplifting all round and no rain!

Kieran Cleaves

This was both my first time at the Globe and my first time seeing A Comedy Of Errors. I went in knowing nothing and have easily come out thinking it was the funniest play I’ve ever seen. The cast were superb and was not fearful to play with the audience. It has already made me look at what is next at this theatre. I recommend this to both Shakespeare lovers and newcomers

Mrs Crick

Funny, well acted and directed.

Joe Deverell-Smith

Overall was enjoyable and funny. Some parts did drag though and a few speeches I thought could’ve been shaved a bit. There was good momentum but sometimes that dropped. I would definitely recommend as I did enjoy it. The overall spectacle was great and all top class actors apart from the young guard with the pencil moustache.

HELEN STRUDWICK

Went for the experience, glad I went but wouldn't go again, as not really into Shakespeare

Andrea

Wonderful experience! The actors and the musicians were great and the whole family had a great time!

Rosemary Burley

It was an excellent production and the atmosphere was wonderful. (The poor actress with an injured foot made the most of the crutches she had to use and they even enhanced her performance) We have seen several very good Shakespeare productions at Stratford on Avon but the atmosphere at the Globe was absolutely unique. The only downside was that even after choosing our seats carefully we both had limited views of the stage on several occasions, but I think the more authentic setting reduced the impact of this. Now we have discovered it we will certainly try and come to see another play in the future.
