Double trouble in Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy.
Packed with a rocking selection of Rhythm and Blues hits, this dazzling new production transports Shakespeare's funniest play to the vibrancy of modern day Times Square, New York.
Twin brothers and their twin servants are separated during a storm. 33 years later their father is searching for them in a hostile land and is arrested and sentenced to death. Unknowingly the family are reunited in the same town; strangers are treated like old friends, newcomers discover they have acquired wives and what follows is a riotous succession of mistaken identities, confused conversations and extravagant escapades.
