Publisher Summary
 

The Comedy of Errors is likely the very first play Shakespeare ever wrote, and for that reason alone it deserves a special place in literary history. Yet, despite the author's lack of maturity, the play is unmistakably the work of a burgeoning master. A farce of a type that was wildly popular in Shakespeare's day, The Comedy of Errors transcends its genre, and is as accessible and as entertaining as any of the Bard's later comedies. Revolving around the naturally comedic themes of identical twins and mistaken identity, The Comedy of Errors is a delightful milestone in the remarkable career of the greatest dramatist of all time.

Light, fluffy, super quick read. You can tell that it's the beginning of the canon and where Shakespeare starts exploring themes he'll use throughout the rest of his career: twins, exorcisms, priests and priestesses, clowns, mistaken identity, etc...

Review by Wendy from The United States | 5/2/2011

read it for school; thought it was pretty funny :) Before, I hated shakespeare. But now that I've tried it, its actually not too hard to read once you get into the rhythm of it. Read it for plot, that is. I'm probably missing a heck of a lot of deeper stuff.
