STRATFORD-UPON-AVON: Britain´s Royal Shakespeare Company has returned to the stage after an enforced 18-month absence due to the coronavirus pandemic at a specially built open-air theatre in the bard´s home town.
The first performance of The Comedy of Errors took place on Tuesday night, in front of a 250-strong crowd half the capacity until pandemic restrictions are eased in England next week. This feels like the real spirit of Shakespeare. You´ve just got the words, the space and the audience, actor Greg Haiste told AFP before the show.

STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, England (Reuters) - Britain s Royal Shakespeare Company opened an outdoor theatre with a new version of The Comedy of Errors on Tuesday, its first such full scale production in front of a live audience in over a year.
Based in playwright William Shakespeare s birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, the company, known as the RSC, built the Lydia & Manfred Gorvy Garden Theatre outside its Swan Theatre by the River Avon. The Comedy of Errors had been due to begin performances in April 2020, but the RSC, like theatres across Britain and elsewhere, had to close its doors to live audiences due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
