On March 27, 2026, the Sá de Miranda Municipal Theatre hosts the premiere of the Teatro do Noroeste - Centro Dramático de Viana’s 174th creation, ‘Comédia de Enganos’ (The Comedy of Errors). Directed by Artistic Director Ricardo Simões, this production is a landmark event for the company’s 35th anniversary.
 

The Concept:

The play offers a meta-theatrical take on Shakespeare’s first comedy, where the narrative of the play mirrors the real-life dynamics of a theatre troupe. In a symbolic bridge between past and present, the current resident ensemble performs alongside founding actors, many of whom are now seniors. The production explores the humorous tensions and ‘errors’ occurring in the backstage area as different generations of actors collide over artistic styles, ultimately celebrating the company's endurance and future.
