The Comedy of Errors

In a race against the clock, identical twin brothers unexpectedly trade places, which threatens one brother’s marriage, the other’s sanity and both of their freedom. It’s a slapstick comedy full of hijinks and convoluted conflicts.

When their family is shipwrecked, two identical twin boys are separated and forced to grow up with a single parent. One went with their mother, while the other was raised by their father. Years later, the brothers, both named Antipholus, unexpectedly swap lives when one attempts to search for the other. Antipholus of Syracuse is mistaken for Antipholus of Ephesus, who is married to a slightly overbearing wife, Adriana. Despite his reservations, Adriana brings Antipholus of Syracuse to their home where his strange behavior leads to a major debacle.

The Comedy of Errors delivers on its descriptive title. It’s a multilayered story filled with tongue twisters and a complex plot. The clever writing and captivating characters make this a timeless farce.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Comedy of Errors is both modern and readable.
