A Director’s Interpretation: The Comedy of Errors

Dominic Cooke explains the essential choices a director has to make about a play when creating a production for the stage. Using his production of The Comedy of Errors as an example, he discusses how the director’s central vision connects the work of the cast, the designer and the production team.
