Mistaken identity. Seduction. Theft. Demonic possession. Sounds like the plot of a chaotic TV soap opera, right? Believe it or not, it's all straight out of The Comedy of Errors-one of Shakespeare's fastest, funniest, and most outrageous plays.
But let's be honest: the laughs can get lost in the language.
That's where we come in.
This BookCaps edition gives you the full original text and a side-by-side modern translation in plain and simple English. The modern version appears directly beneath the original-so whether you're struggling with a line or just want to keep up with the chaos, help is always one glance away.
Whether you're prepping for a test, performing in a production, or just trying to enjoy Shakespeare without a dictionary in hand, this edition makes it easy to follow the action and actually get the jokes.
BookCaps has helped millions of readers navigate the classics-and we're adding more titles every month. Rediscover Shakespeare the way it was meant to be read: with clarity, humor, and a little help when you need it.
