Sinossi
Farsa del “doppio”, La commedia degli errori (1594 circa) riprende liberamente i Menecmi di Plauto, portando le situazioni burlesche alle estreme conseguenze. Se il modello latino si limitava a una coppia di gemelli, Shakespeare accosta ai due gemelli protagonisti, continuamente scambiati l’uno per l’altro, i loro due servi, anch’essi gemelli e indistinguibili, moltiplicando gli effetti teatrali e gli elementi di comicità e confusione. Gran parte della commedia consiste nella personale “versione dei fatti” fornita dai diversi personaggi (ma nessuna è affidabile), in un febbrile susseguirsi di equivoci, scambi di identità e smascheramenti che finiscono con lo scardinare i ruoli familiari e sociali. Sullo sfondo di una Efeso di stregoni e incantesimi – un contesto esotico e fiabesco da vero e proprio romance – Shakespeare mette in scena l’altro, il doppio, il perturbante: è la scoperta di un motivo che riaffiorerà puntuale e ossessivo in tutta la sua opera, da quelle gallerie di specchi che sono le commedie giovanili come I due gentiluomini di Verona e Pene d’amor perdute fino al trionfo della metamorfosi nel Sogno di una notte di mezza estate.

The Comedy of Errors, William Shakespeare Set in the Greek city of Ephesus, The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of th Leggi tutto
This play is so light it practically floats, a marvelous, silly absurdity of mistaken identity that will put a smile on your face even the cranky ...may laugh. The plot was old when Shakespeare wrote it back in the 1590's. Still not just a set of twins in this comedy but two, the writer wanted to do Leggi tutto
The story opens with this guy, who is maybe about to be executed, telling a sad tale about the search for his missing family, in an effort to explain to the duke why he is illegally in his city. <--this shit is nuts , let me tell you. Buckle up. So way back in the day, his lovely wife gives birth to i Leggi tutto
The Comedy of Errors is perfect, but it is perfection of a low order. In this early play, Shakespeare sets out to master the complex mechanisms and simple humor of farce, and succeeds completely. It is enjoyable and well-crafted--like a really good episode of The Beverly Hillbillies or Three's Compa Leggi tutto
I have always said that Much Ado is Shakespeare's funniest play -- but Comedy of Errors is just hilarious! It's pretty similar to Twelfth Night, so if you liked that I think you'll like COE. This play is also drowning in early modern politics though. It draws on tensions surrounding empire, racism an Leggi tutto
Book Review 3 out of 5 stars to The Comedy of Errors , a comedy (seriously, did you think with that title it was one of his tragedies... oh my) published in 1594 by William Shakespeare . So... who knew Shakespeare invented the humor of mistaken identity? Wow! Think of this as a cross betwee
“If she lives till doomsday, she'll burn a week longer than the whole world.” ― William Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors, Act III.2 Look. It isn't brilliant Shakespeare, but it is worth the price of admission for just the banter, puns, etc. There really isn't a major character that jumps out. Perhap Leggi tutto
This was unspeakably stupid and I enjoyed every minute of it.
