This is one of the earliest plays written by William Shakespeare. It revolves around two sets of identical twins that were separated at birth. Years later, fate brings them to the same city, and this unleashes the drama caused by mistaken identities.
I enjoyed this much more than I expected to. The plot and characters are so wittily designed, I found myself laughing aloud at certain parts.
5/5
This piece flows so well and is beyond an amusing read. Definite recommend.
My first proper meeting with the bard! I started out reading it, armed up with a dictionary and a healthy dose of motivation, but after a couple of pages, I realized that i took the entire fun out of reading the play. Guessing on the (to me) foreign words based on the context, worked well enough for me to read it as any other play - though I am certain that I missed some puns and comical points because of it.
The play itself is a farcial comedy, where two sets of twins both are seperated at birth, causing confusion when they end up in the same city. This confusion is at times hilarious, though Shakespeare could have gone even further with it to make it even more funny.
