  • "William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in late April 1565 and baptised there on 26th April. He was one of eight children. Little is known about his life but what is evident is the enormous contribution he has made to world literature. His writing was progressive, magnificent in scope and breathtaking in execution. His plays and sonnets helped enable the English language to speak with a voice unmatched by any other. William Shakespeare died on April 23rd 1616, survived by his wife and two daughters. He was buried two days after his death in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church. The epitaph on the slab which covers his grave includes the following passage, Good friend, for Jesus's sake forbear, to dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed me the man that spares these stones, and cursed be he that moves my bones. Here we publish from 1589 the classic 'The Comedy of Errors'."@en
  • "Two sets of identical twins provide the basis for ongoing incidents of mistaken identity, within a lively plot of quarrels, arrests, and a grand courtroom denouement.

  • "The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare's earliest plays, believed to have been written between 1589 and 1594. It is his shortest and one of his most farcical, with a major part of the humour coming from slapstick and mistaken identity, in addition to puns and wordplay. The Comedy of Errors (along with The Tempest) is one of only two of Shakespeare's plays to observe the classical unities. It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen and musical theatre. The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, a."@en

  • "Shakespeare's shortest comedy, The Comedy of Errors is full of slapstick comedy and mistaken identity. The story of a pair of identical twins both named Dromio, the play becomes a laughing riot of confusion as the twins both serve men named Antipholus, who are also twin brothers with the same name. Complete with witty puns and word play, The Comedy of Errors is a favorite among the playwright's comedies for film, opera and other theatrical adaptations. The play is one of only two of Shakespeare's plays (along with The Tempest) that adheres to Aristotle's theory of classical unities which states that plays, in their neoclassical form, follow three rules: (1) Unity of Action: One main plot, no subplots; (2) Unity of Place: Having one geographical location (in this case, Ephesus) and (3) Unity of Time: Taking place over no more than 24 hours."@en
