In a short review from last year, The Jewish Chronicle gave
The Comedy of Errors' stay at the Lowry
four stars, saying:
Edward Hall's magnificent production is one big party, with slapstick, musical jokes, bawdiness in the best Shakespearean tradition, and a few crazy and seriously off-script diversions.
Hall insists Shakespeare does not need to be made more accessible because that would suggest "dumbing down". He has simply cranked up the fun factor to strike the same chords as the play did when the Elizabethan peasants filled The Globe theatre 400 years ago.
And it works.
