Comedy of Errors - William Shakespeare
The Comedy of Errors may have first appeared on the stage in 1594. It appears that William Shakespeare drew from Menaechmi for the play.
The Comedy of Errors
The Comedy of Errors was one of Shakespeare's earliest comedies and, with multiple mix-ups, mistaken identities, and plot confusions, it certainly lives up to its name. We see in this early concoction a set of generic tropes that were to show themselves time and time again in Shakespeare's more mature comedies.
