The Bomb-itty of Errors

New Ambassadors Theatre

Co-produced

‘You’ll be enchanted’

Developed by Andy Goldberg.

Fusing classic theatre with the original live beats of an onstage DJ, The Bomb-itty of Errors is a unique and bold hip-hop spin on Shakespeare’s farcical tale of mistaken identities.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors, Bomb-itty inventively traces the chaotic family history of two sets of male twins who are put up for adoption by their struggling hip-hop parents. After the boy’s father is arrested for small-time drug dealing, their mother falls apart and splits the boys up between two foster homes and disappears. When the four boys – who look identical – meet up 20 years later, explosive confusion follows: wives, sisters, bill collectors, street hustlers, girlfriends, townspeople, jewellers and ladies of the night are thrown into a tailspin of total bewilderment with outrageous results.
