{"product_id":"the-comedy-of-errors-play-on-shakespeare","title":"The Comedy of Errors (Play on Shakespeare)","description":"Shakespeare’s archetypal slapstick comedy, now with updated jokes and wordplay.\n\nOne of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors is a farcical tale of separated twins and mistaken identities. 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.\n\nThis translation of The Comedy of Errors 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\u003eASIN: 0866987835\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0866987835.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shakespeare, William|Anderson, Christina\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43500983812157,"sku":"BVV.0866987835.VG","price":7.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-comedy-of-errors-play-on-shakespeare","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
