Edward Hall Announces Tour Dates For The Comedy of Errors

Edward Hall, artistic director of Propeller theatre company, has announced dates for a tour of the company's pocket-sized production of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, entitled Pocket Comedy.

Pocket Comedy is an adaptation of Edward Hall's hit Propeller production of The Comedy of Errors, which premiered earlier this year. Beginning in autumn, it will play The Theatre, Chipping Norton and The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, as well touring schools in Kent and across the South East.

Pocket Comedy is part of Propeller's Pocket Propeller initiative, which started in 2009 with the international success of Pocket Dream - a 60-minute version of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

All-male theatre company Propeller is renowned for combining a rigorous approach to the text with a physical aesthetic to create productions full of clarity, poetry, speed, and imagination. Pocket Propeller delivers a fresh and inspiring introduction to Shakespeare. The ensemble creates a relaxed and engaging atmosphere in which to enjoy the performance, as well encouraging the audience to give a frank and uninhibited response in an open talkback session afterwards.

Pocket Comedy is the ideal introduction not only to Shakespeare, but to the thrill and excitement of theatre. It aims to deliver a first class theatrical experience in a compact but uncompromised 60 minutes.
