‘After God, Shakespeare has created most’ — Alexandre Dumas Two pairs of identical twins. Separated by a shipwreck in infancy, they have grown up on opposite sides of the world — until chance brings all four of them to the same city on the same day. What follows is a cascade of mistaken identities, baffled friends, wrongful accusations, and compounding confusion that builds to a dazzling comic crescendo. Joyful, mystical, and brilliantly farcical, The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s shortest play and one of his most exuberant: a headlong early comedy that ends in wonder and reunion. Used and Recommended by the National Theatre, this Penguin Shakespeare edition is prepared under General Editor Stanley Wells, edited by Stanley Wells, with an introduction by Randall Martin.
