Two pairs of twins. Same name. Same city.
What could go wrong?
The Rhubarb Theatre invites you to summer theatre at Bakklandet, and the stage is set for a performance where confusion takes over completely. Here, money, jewelry and people go astray, love ends up in the wrong place – and no one is quite sure who really is who.
“The Comedy of Errors” is Rhubarb Theatre’s version of one of William Shakespeare’s earliest and most insane comedies, The Comedy of Errors. The play is a classic comedy of errors in which we meet two sets of twins who were separated at birth – and who, unfortunately, bear exactly the same name. When both sets of twins end up in the same town, a chain reaction of misunderstandings is set in motion. Servants mistake their masters, masters mistake their servants, and a wife is convinced that her husband is behaving strangely – unaware that she is talking to the wrong man. Along the way, romantic confusion, financial chaos and pure madness ensue, before everything finally unravels in a surprising revelation.
The performance has been translated into the lush and poetic Sparbud dialect by Hans Magnus Ystgaard, who for many years has given Shakespeare new life in Trøndelag.
Bring a friend (preferably one you don't confuse with anyone else), and join us for a summer evening full of laughter and pure fun!
July 23 – August 2
