The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare's shortest and one of his most farcical comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from slapstick and mistaken identity, in addition to puns and word play. This edition of The Comedy of Errors is an adaptation of Shakespeare's eponymous drama, narrated in plain modern English, capturing the very essence and key elements of the original Shakespeare's work.

Story
"Der Liebe Goldpfeil hätt ihn treffen sollen,Und nicht des Todes schwarzer Speer ihn holen." William Shakespeares frühe Verserzählung "Venus und Adonis" beschreibt die leidenschaftliche Zuneigung der Liebesgöttin zum schüchternen Adonis, der bei einem Jagdunfall tragisch ums Leben kommt. "Venus und Adonis" ist ein traumhaftes Ineinander von Gedanken, Sprache und Spiel, das Shakespeares Werk durch die Farbigkeit seiner Stilmittel unvergänglich macht.

Story
Shakespeare's King Lear ranks with Sophocles' Oedipus as a tragic hero destroyed by his own good intentions. From the moment when Lear unfolds his darker purpose, we are drawn into an ineluctable chain of events that leads through betrayal, deceit, destructive family conflict, reconciliation, despair, and death. Considered by many to be the most grueling of Shakespeare's tragedies.

Prospero seeks his revenge on his brother by causing his ship to wreck on his island, and the adventure of the play begins.
