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.

The Cast:

The large-scale ensemble features Adriel Filipe, Alexandre Calçada, Armanda Santos, Elisabete Pinto, Filomena Mouta, José Escaleira, Nuno J. Loureiro, Rafaela Sá, Ricardo Ribeiro, Tiago Fernandes and Tomás Gonçalves.

Schedule:

Following the World Theatre Day premiere at 9:30pm, the show will run until April 19, 2026, with a total of 11 sessions. To accommodate different audiences, there’ll be a diverse range of showtimes, including morning performances for the general public.
