This slapstick play is a staple of the genre, including madcap bawdiness, love at first sight, reunions, and happily-ever-afters. Christina Anderson's translation dives deep into the joy of the original text, reinterpreting the metaphor, antiquated slang, and double and triple entendre for a contemporary audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Comedy of Errors\u003c\/i\u003e was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from \"The Bard\" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46866510938263,"sku":"9781613821107","price":1144.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781613821107.webp?v=1769982397","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-comedy-of-errors-9781613821107","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
