The Comedy of No Errors

What if Shakespeare could be read without needing Shakespeare beside you?

A Comedy of No Errors is a fresh, faithful reworking of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, keeping the original story, characters, chaos and comic spirit while replacing obscure words, awkward expressions and vanished references with language today's reader can understand.

The result isn't Shakespeare simplified into something bland. The jokes remain jokes. The misunderstandings remain gloriously misunderstood. The twins remain hopelessly confusing. And the language still sounds like Shakespeare — just Shakespeare who has decided to be helpful.

Along the way, familiar lines are given enough room to breathe, while the play's wonderfully ridiculous machinery is allowed to do what it does best: go completely wrong.

No abridgement. No modern setting. No rewriting the story.

Just Shakespeare, carefully cleaned up for readers who would rather enjoy the comedy than stop every few lines to ask, “What on earth does that mean?”

Read the play. Get the jokes.

Miss none of the chaos.

The Comedy of No Errors.

Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, without the errors that aren't supposed to be there.
