Synopsis

The Comedy of Errors, Edited by Henry Cuningham is one of the first plays written by the famous and incomparable English playwright William Shakespeare. This play proves to be one of Shakespeare's shortest and also one of his most farcical comedies. This play is perfect for any reader entertained by slapstick comedy and mistaken identities or enchanted by intricate wordplay and puns.

This play utilizes comedy to explore the story of two sets of identical twins – which incidentally were accidentally separated at birth. When Antipholus and Dromio (his servant) arrive in Ephesus, calamity and hilarity ensue as Ephesus turns out to be home to each of their twins. Mistaken for their twins, these two characters endure a wide range of mishaps such as wrongful beatings, seduction, and arrest. In addition to these offenses, the duo is also falsely accused of infidelity, madness, theft, and even demonic possession. By the end of the play the errors are all cleared up and the characters find a fair resolution to their unfair treatment, but not before the audience has had a full does of hilarity as only Shakespeare can deliver.

The Comedy of Errors, Edited by Henry Cuningham is a wonderfully entertaining play written by the world's leading playwright, William Shakespeare. This play is a great read for anyone interested in Shakespeare and his works along with readers fascinated with exploring the most well-known plays ever written. For actors, writers, and teachers of drama or literature, this play provides a great example of a beautifully written piece of stage art.
