A father ends up in the wrong country on the wrong day as a government makes hasty proclamations about travel. A lonely son, while searching for his brother, loses himself.

"... while Phillip Breen’s new Royal Shakespeare Company staging is exhaustingly funny, it also touches on deeper distresses about identity and reality. Breen and movement director Charlotte Broom grab every possible gag.
After a period in which The Comedy of Errors has been busy as a headline on the government, the RSC gloriously reclaims it for theatre." (The Guardian ★★★★★)
"Across the cast, there are touches of brilliance and moments of high comedy, with Breen's directorial hand steering proceedings assuredly to their outrageous conclusion" (WhatsOn Stage ★★★★)
"The actors give it their all in this RSC production: Naomi Sheldon deserves special mention as the heavily pregnant and long-suffering wife of one of the posh twins. Max Jones’s set is a beaut and the setting and costumes – blingy, rich and strange, like an ’80s Dubai shopping mall – are fantastically apt. " (Time Out ★★★)
"... slice of Renaissance silliness embraces chaos ...
Breen’s staging captures how petrifying it is to have the world you live in dismantled in front of you; faced with the shattered pieces, all you can do is laugh." (Evening Standard ★★★★)
"A great return for the RSC in its new open-air venue" (The Times ★★★★)
