Comedy of Errors, A - Shakespeare in Three Steps

A Comedy of Errors is a comedy suitable for grades 2–12. 

Play Summary: This is the story of identical twins separated at birth. The two grew up in different cities, unaware of each other’s existence, until one day one of the brothers decided to travel and happened to arrive in the other’s town. Mistaken for each other, the two brothers and their servants barely survive the ensuing confusion.

============================

Now you can help your students become familiar with Shakespeare’s imaginative stories, memorable characters, and brilliant lines.

A free PDF e-book version is included with every print book so you can easily make copies of the script for your students. 

Each Shakespeare in Three Steps book provides

• A well-written story version of the play by E. Nesbit or Charles and Mary Lamb—classic narratives that have been providing a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare’s plays for decades.
• The complete script of the play with helpful notes to explain unusual terms or add to your understanding of Shakespeare’s stories, characters, and lines.
• An outlined plan for walking through the script, divided into manageable portions with quick recaps, scene introductions, and summaries that will guide you each step of the way. We highly recommend using the excellent audio dramatizations from Arkangel Shakespeare for this step, so students can hear the lines delivered masterfully from the very beginning.
• Script highlights, featuring well-known or just ponder-worthy lines, that will gently introduce the Bard’s genius and cultivate an appreciation for his wonderful way with words.
• Parental advisories to give you a heads-up on scenes that may contain material inappropriate for children.
• Helpful lists of the characters in the scenes and the number of lines each one speaks, so you can assign parts knowledgeably for reading sessions or acting roles.
• Candid reviews of several video recordings of the play to save you time previewing and help you select an appropriate presentation for your students to watch and enjoy.
