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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0866987835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780866987837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 4.80w x 0.30d","brand":"William Shakespeare","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063443910911,"sku":"9780866987837","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4901b73-85f0-493d-b971-75d98e9bac50.jpg?v=1685389585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-comedy-of-errors-william-shakespeare-9780866987837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
