Description
The Comedy of Errors is a joyful and farcical play by William Shakespeare. When two sets of identical twins meet for the first time as adults, their friends mistake them for one another, leading to confusion and hilarity.
As they navigate this mix-up, the twins must find each other again and restore order to their lives. With its lighthearted tone and comedic misunderstandings, this play is an early romantic comedy of confusion and ultimate reunion.
Edited by Stanley Wells and introduced by Randall Martin, The Comedy of Errors offers a unique insight into Shakespeare's work, with a foreword that highlights the play's enduring popularity.
