The Comedy of Errors

The Comedy of Errors presents a farcical narrative of separated twins and mistaken identities, showcasing slapstick humor, love at first sight, and joyful reunions. Christina Anderson's translation modernizes the original text, enhancing its metaphors and wordplay for today's readers while preserving Shakespeare's poetic beauty. This work is part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which aims to make Shakespeare's plays accessible to contemporary audiences through the efforts of diverse playwrights, creating a new First Folio for the modern era.
