In 1976, under the direction of Trevor Nunn, the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) staged a new production of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. Nunn set the play in a modern day Mediterranean tourist trap, and re-worked the text into a musical comedy with music by Guy Woolfenden.
The production featured amongst its cast Judi Dench, Roger Rees, and Richard Griffiths.
The musical version of The Comedy of Errors was performed for a week-long engagement at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne between March 29, 1977 and April 9, 1977.
The Comedy of Errors opened in the West End at the Aldwych Theatre on December 14, 1977.
The production won the 1977 Olivier Award for Best New Musical.
In reviewing the best stagings of The Comedy of Errors, English theatre critic Michael Billington described the RSC production as “Pure magic.” The Oxford Handbook of the British Musical states it was “a high point of the RSC’s legendary productions in the late seventies.”

Shakespeare: The Comedy of Errors (Shakespeare’s Globe) 2015
Based on a farce by the Roman playwright Plautus, The Comedy of Errors is the Bard’s most madcap comedy – a work full of slapstick humour and rich characterisation that centres around two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth. Featuring renaissance costumes as well as contemporaneous staging, Blanche McIntyre’s debut production for the Globe ‘sparkles with wit and invention’ (WhatsOnStage), with standout performances from Matthew Needham (‘who brings a compelling fluency’ to the role of Antipholus of Ephesus’), Simon Harrison as his bewildered brother, and Hattie Ladbury who ‘elegantly articulates the lofty ideals and passions of his wife Adriana’ (Evening Standard).
