Shakespeare does slap-stick, puns and wordplay!

The Comedy of Errors, is Shakespeare’s shortest play and one of his most farcical. A major part of the plays humor derives from slapstick, puns and wordplay. The story of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth involves a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities that lead to wrongful attacks, a near-seduction, an arrest, and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness and demonic possession. Shakespeare sets all this action in one day and explores a recurring theme across his work: blending tragic situations with comedic resolutions and slapstick. Directed by Ian Belknap (credits include last year’s Romeo and Juliet, and The Lover and the Poet w/ Kevin Kline and Meryl Streep.

“Exploits the small moments as well as the big ones. Slight shifts in tone bolster the wit, while smart timing makes the puns far funnier."
                                                                                        – New York Times
