A Comedy of Errors

 “If the skin were parchment and the blows you gave were ink,
Your own handwriting would tell you what I think.”
― William Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors

The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare tells the story of two sets of identical twins that were accidentally separated at birth.

Today's find is a ticket to the 2011  run of "The Comedy of Errors" by the Huntington Theater Company of Boston (@huntington) I hope that the owner of the ticket managed to enjoy the show because Shakespeare managed to write some fantastic comedies and it would have been a shame for them to pay more attention to the book than to the play. After all, while there is a certain amount of emphasis placed on "Reading Shakespeare", we must remember he originally wrote it to be performed in the theater and watched by an audience.

You have to love the internet. I managed to find small little review online from someone that attended the play 2 days after the owner of ticket I found. You can read that here.
