Description
“The Comedy of Errors” is Shakespeare’s first comedy and one of his earliest works. It is an adaptation of “Menaechmi,” a comedy by the ancient Roman playwright Plautus. Using two pairs of twins, Shakespeare creates an entire chain of funny situations, misunderstandings, and mistakes. Puns and jokes on topical themes make the comedy even more joyful and clever. Adding lyricism and high feelings to a farcical plot gives it freshness and originality. “Much Ado About Nothing” is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, both in his lifetime and today. The plot was borrowed from the Italian short story writer Bandello. The entire play is built on the idea of deceiving one’s feelings and the illusory nature of what is seen. Vivid, living characters and the drama of the plot, combined with a major (upbeat) mood and an abundance of comic episodes, testify to the influence of the Renaissance.
