This slapstick play is a staple of the genre, including madcap bawdiness, love at first sight, reunions, and happily-ever-afters. Christina Anderson's translation dives deep into the joy of the original text, reinterpreting the metaphor, antiquated slang, and double and triple entendre for a contemporary audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Comedy of Errors\u003c\/i\u003e was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from \"The Bard\" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristina Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e's plays include \u003ci\u003eThe Ripple, The Wave That Carried Me Home; How to Catch Creation; pen\/man\/ship; The Ashes Under Gait City; Man in Love; Blacktop Sky; Hollow Roots;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDrip\u003c\/i\u003e.
