About this book
De Klucht der Vergissingen by William Shakespeare crackles with slapstick energy and razor-sharp wit, a comic play that turns mistaken identity into irresistible chaos. Also known in English as The Comedy of Errors, this early Shakespearean comedy follows two sets of twins—Antipholus and their servants Dromio—whose accidental encounters on the streets of Ephesus ignite a cascade of bewilderment, legal entanglements, and domestic quarrels.
Rooted in classical farce and inspired by Plautus, the drama blends fast-paced wordplay, physical humor, and themes of family, law, and urban life. As merchants, magistrates, and bewildered spouses collide, Shakespeare explores how names, money, and mistaken appearances disrupt social order and provoke both laughter and surprising moral questions about mercy and justice. The play’s brisk scenes and vivid characters make it a lively example of Elizabethan stagecraft and comic timing.
Perfect for fans of classic literature, theater lovers, and anyone seeking a spirited, accessible introduction to Shakespeare, this audiobook brings the play’s farcical momentum and theatrical voices to life. Listen for sparkling repartee, rollicking misunderstandings, and a timeless celebration of comic confusion.
