    Fun, but not wonderful

    This play is not as feeble as, say, "Two Gentlemen of Verona," but it's not terribly strong either. Directors have a tendency to throw in distractions to up the level of interest: Trevor Nunn threw in nine songs, Greg Mosher added a clown and a drag queen, and here James Cellan Jones throws in a mime troupe.

    I don't care what his rationale was, there are three things in life worth avoiding: folk dancing, incest and commedia dell'arte. The mimes are superfluous, annoying and nowhere near as interesting as they are supposed to be.

    Getting past that, this is neither the strongest nor the weakest of the BBC Shakespeares. The set is a cheerful stylization of a tiny town on the Aegean, with a surprising amount of atmosphere. It's easy on the eyes and is also built in the round, so no matter which way the camera looks, you remain solidly within the physical setting.

    Cyril Cusack and Wendy Hiller get the acting honors, with a tip of the hat to Charles Gray.

    The master and servant pair from Syracuse are relaxed and benign, those from Ephesus are sour and prone to violence. Since the TV camera would not forgive two sets of actors pretending to be identical twins, one single actor plays both Antipholi (?), and another both Dromios. Michael Kitchen labors over a case of flu to differentiate his characters. Roger Daltrey is sincere and good-natured, but way out of his depth here and best passed over in silence.

    The trouble, as so often with farce, is the pace. Though things start off promisingly and finish well, that droop in the middle is serious.

    So, not a show for the ages, but not the worst thing ever to happen to the Bard.

    Charming farce

    I know the BBC Shakespeare series has this reputation for being low-budget and boring, but I've enjoyed them, even if the quality isn't always consistent. The takes on the material tend to be creative and inspired, and the lack of flashy cinematography helps keep the focus on the language and performances. Best of all, lesser-known works in the Bard's canon get a chance to shine through this series.

    THE COMEDY OF ERRORS is one such piece. An early comedy, it lacks the sophisticated characterizations of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING or A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. There is a heavy emphasis on crude physical humor and the farce gets so intense that it can be an exhausting read. However, this performance is light and entertaining. I was impressed by how the actors made this silly story seem more grounded. There were even elements of pathos the play's text lacks. It just goes to show how different a story can come off in performance as opposed to through the text alone.

    Roger Daltrey did a fine performance of in Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors".

    I saw the Comedy of Errors with Roger Daltrey. I totally disagree. I thought Daltrey was very entertaining and acted brilliantly in it. Also got to see him on stage in NYC acting as Scrooge in a Christmas Carol about 7 years ago. He was good in that role, too.

    In addition to being a well known singer, I believe he shows a lot of versatility with his acting, also. I'm guessing he's gotta be on the other side of 60 now, but he still looks good. He was on Letterman recently with Peter Townshend, and although he's beginning to show age, he still keeps himself in great shape.

    While a lot of rock stars of his era were poisoning their bodies with drugs and alcohol, he seemed to steer clear. There were times he fought with his own band mates over the alcohol and drugs they were using and killing themselves with(Two of them died using drugs). He stayed away and looks great at his age compared to how bad others look from his era who were lucky enough to survive their drug addictions.

    Pretty enjoyable

    I was a bit worried at the beginning, (I just hate 'fire-eaters' in merry crowd scenes..and unfortunately there are jugglers and mimes too,another hate of mine)

    So I was tensed from the start.

    Luckily it didn't deter me, and I was able to enjoy a great performance from Michael Kitchen, and an amateur but still enjoyable one from Roger Daltry.

    OK,the plot is corny, the set minimal.

    So what? It's a fun production and I enjoyed it.

    (I even smirked a few times)

    Not the most crucial Bard Product but recommended all the same!

    Painful

    To cast one Roger Daltrey may be regarded as a misfortune. To cast two looks like carelessness.

    This is a woefully clunky piece of film-making, and its biggest mistake is to use sophisticated special effects (sorry, awkward split-screen work) so that the same actors can play both identical twins. The BBC series is always over-literal in its interpretations, and this is a classic example; when the two Roger Daltreys and the two Michael Kitchens are identical to the point of pristine perfection, the story is actually made even less realistic than it was before. And it's also made less interesting; the actors don't play each twin as having a different personality, so it's difficult to tell who is who, and even more difficult to care. (Quite apart from the fact that Daltrey can't act...)

    Unintentional humour: check out the under-rehearsed actors who attempt to mime Egeon's story of his travels. It's really funny in a painful kind of way.

    • Trivia
      Director James Cellan Jones felt very strongly that the play was not just a farce, but included a serious side, specifically represented by the character of Aegeon, who has lost his family and is about to lose his life. In several productions Jones had seen, Aegeon was completely forgotten between the first and last scenes, and determined to avoid this, and hence give the production a more serious air, Jones had Aegeon wandering around Ephesus throughout the episode.

      The last word Wendy Hiller speaks in Act V is "nativity", but Shakespeare has "festivity.
