This is an early Trevor Nunn musical and is an excellent version of A Comedy of Errors. Although it is set in more modern times, the dialogue is true to Shakespeare and it all works very well. Its presented as a play, on a stage, and there is a live audience, AND it has the same cast as the original theatre production (how lucky can we get!)
Dame Judi Dench is fantastic as always. Roger Rees, Mike Gwilym, Michael Williams, Nicolas Grace and Francesca Annis are delightful. Robin Ellis as Dr. Pinch is a hoot, and he has one of the best musical numbers. The entire cast is terrific in a funny and highly entertaining production. The song and dance numbers are great but do not overwhelm the story (or the comedy).
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this show many times and I highly recommend it. But please, won't someone release a remastered version on DVD? Some extra features - a commentary, perhaps - would be the icing on the cake, but I won't be greedy!

I first saw this production twenty-odd years ago, and have been looking for a video for years, so I was very glad to find this one...! It hasn't dated at all, and still leaves me filled with happiness and feeling on top of the world. Why there hasn't been a DVD version is beyond me....

I watched this video approx. 25 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought the video recently and believe I enjoyed it even more than the first time. This musical version of the Shakespeare play is a great evenings entertainment.
