Publisher Description
Hilarious fun, this early comedy is filled with the merry violence of slapstick and farce. When two sets of twins, separated and apparently lost to each other, all end up in the rowdy, rollicking city of Ephesus, the stage is set for mix-ups, mayhem, and mistaken identity—plus the timeless puns, jokes, gags, and suspense that makes this play a wonderful theatrical frolic and a brilliant tour de force of language and laughter.

Not As Good As I Wanted It To Be
Even with an audio version with David Tennant as one of the twins and a friend who raves about it, this just didn’t do it for me. It seemed a little too implausible, especially with one half of each of the twins out looking for their twins. These guys aren’t that thick; it should have dawned on them at some point they were being mistaken for the very people they were looking for. As with other Shakespearean comedies, the ending seemed to come out of nowhere and be just a bit too convenient.
