What this book is about
Shakespeare's shortest and most purely farcical comedy follows two masters and their servants — both pairs identical twins separated at birth — causing complete chaos in Ephesus through mistaken identity. The play is a tour de force of physical comedy and verbal wordplay; some of the bawdy humor is explicit in Elizabethan fashion. Appropriate for all ages with minor adult wordplay caveats.
