Even the staunchest of theater nerds will tell you that, sometimes, Shakespeare is a bit boring. However, this early farcical Shakespearean play is anything but. The synopsis is a bit confusing, see if you can keep up: A set of twins with the same first name accidentally meet after being separated at birth. To add to the confusion, the twins have twin servants who also have the same name. Hijinks ensue in the form of mistaken identity and slapstick bits. The puns and physical comedy in this play showcase a side of Shakespeare that you may not have seen before and might spur a newfound love for the comedy of the 16th century.
