Description
Shakespeare's dextrous comedy of two twin masters and two twin servants continually mistaken for one another is both farce and more than farce. The Comedy of Errors examines the interplay between personal and commercial relationships, and the breakdown of social order that follows the disruption of identity. As well as detailed on-page commentary notes, this new edition has a long, illustrated introduction exploring the play's performance and crtitical history, as well as its place in the comic tradition from Classical to modern times.

I did not expect this to be so funny! What starts with the announced execution of a merchant from a rivaling city quickly develops into a fun and twisted story about twins. One of Shakespeare's very early and short plays but definitely worth reading, it's lighter and easy going, a fun short comedy.
