Comedy of Errors is hardly rare. Frequent RSC productions. Recent RNT productions. Globe had toured it at least twice. It isn't a Dream or Twelfth Night. But it is in the next tranche down. At least in my experience RSC productions average about one a decade. NT has done it once in its entire history. |

My biggest issue with Shakespeare is that for his genius, he hadn’t a clue how to end a play. Almost everything I’ve seen ends a good 15 to 20 minutes before the script does. Yes this is a good point. The absolute worst example of this is Antony and Cleopatra where it ends at least 35 minutes before the script. Another example is Merchant of Venice with that painfully tedious added-on stuff about the rings, Henry V and Richard II also stay on well beyond their welcome. |
