Читать книгу The Comedy of Errors (Propeller Shakespeare) - William Shakespeare - Страница 13

This Edition

The Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare’s shortest play, was first published in the First Folio of Shakespeare’s plays (1623). This edition follows that text closely, apart from a few minor cuts, and incorporates Shakespeare’s own stage directions into our own wherever possible. The Pinch episode, however, is much expanded: the meagre text of this scene is a mere skeleton, clearly inviting comic development and improvisation. We are very grateful to Angie Kendall for her help in preparing this edition.
