Sommario/riassunto

This edition of 'The Comedy of Errors' bases itself directly on the 1623 Folio text and provides helpful explanatory notes. The introduction argues that it was written for and performed at the Gray's Inn Christmas revels on 28 December 1594 and was among the first plays composed by Shakespeare.
