The Comedy of Errors - RSC, Musical, 1976

The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare's tale of mistaken identities, as adapted in 1976 into a modern musical form for the RSC, by Trevor Nunn.
This scene: In Ephesus on "holiday", Antipholus(Roger Rees) and Dromio(Michael Williams) of Syracuse are unknowingly mistaken for their long lost twin brothers Antipholus and Dromio of Ephesus by Adriana (Judi Dench), the denied and restless wife of Antipholus of Ephesus. Adriana is convinced that her husband's attentions have been straying to the many licentious distractions in Ephesus, and is in desperate need of some attention herself. Upon seeing "him" in the square, she makes her move of determination to keep "her husband's" attentions where they should be...at home and on her. Shakespeare's comedy of mistaken identity is never more funny than when in the hands of these brilliant artists. Other's in the scene: Adriana's sister, Luciana(Francesca Annis), and their house maid Luce(Susan Dury).

    You absolutely made me laugh a very rare performance of Judi Dench in hr younger years but as she grows older gracefully is still the icon in my opinion and one of the most talented of actesst's. Made my day enjoyable thanks.

    Dear Bex8484! Could you please upload the whole show! :-) I saw this in 1976 and fell in love with this version. I contacted the Royal Shakespeare company and they do not have it.

    "In Ephesus I am but two hours old." Oh, is that why you seem so young. 😉

    Great to find this. I saw the very first performance at Stratford in 78. Judi Dench dried, and the prompter's voice was audible right up in the balcony. Very clever and entertaining production. Is there any more of it available?

    Judi Dench and Francesca Annis have about the opposite hair colors from the shows I'm more used to seeing them in. ^___^ Okay, they look cute that way too. But I'm beginning to be not sure any more what either one's real hair color is or was. 🤔 Gray by now anyway. 😉😜😘

    @kwebster640 Wow, that must have come out pretty recently, I searched for ages. I would definitely follow your advice, but some lovely people saw my post on this video and sent me a DVD copy of the comedy of errors completely for free, and now I can watch it whenever I feel down! Then they sent me all sorts of other Shakespeares on dvd just because I said what huge fan I was. I truly love this production and I wish I'd seen it live, though I have a feeling I wasn't alive yet!

    I didn't know this was that old. No wonder everyone looks so young. I first saw this in the early 1990's. Without even realizing or noticing that it was already old then. I think that must have been when it first made it to American television. And to think that the British television viewers complain about getting our stuff so late. Um. Try *fifteen years* late. @___@

    I just played Adriana, and the best way to play it is how you think it should be done.
