Experience Shakespeare as never before when the internationally acclaimed Propeller Theatre Company leaps from England onto a Boston stage for the first time. One set of actors presents two productions in ambitious alternating repertory. In RICHARD III, director Edward Hall and his British cast bring a great villain to unsparing life. The company shows off their trademark mischievous wit in THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, Shakespeare’s most farcical comedy. A rigorous approach to classic text mixes with dynamic physicality and modern flair in the all-male Propeller productions, the theatrical event of the season.

"The daring, the dazzle, and the pure craft of this company is absolutely exhilarating." — The New York Times

      This British production with an all-male case is the best Shakespeare I have ever seen in the US.

      Great acting, inventive sets and costumes, and a whole lot of fun. Not enough advertising for this wonderful company which sold out in NYC and had empty seats here in Boston in a smaller theatre.

      Enormously talented cast, gorgeous diction. Creative staging. Riveting interpretation of a Shakespeare classic. This is storytelling at its best. Propeller Theater Company....please return to Boston... Expand

      I stumbled into this production as a Huntington subscriber, and was blown away. This high-energy Comedy of Errors by the all-male British Shakespeare company Propeller was completely original and highly entertaining from start to finish. Almost every word of the play was there, plus musical touches and audience participation. I got home and e-mailed all my Shakespeare-reading friends to go, quick. But this production, like the ART's recent Shakespeare versions, will entrance 20-somethings too. (Don't bring young kids, though, unless you want to answer a lot of embarrassing questions.)
