The Comedy of Errors The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare's early plays. It is his 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. "The Comedy of Errors" (along with "The Tempest") is one of only two of Shakespeare's plays to observe the Unity of Time (classical unities). It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen and musical theatre numerous times worldwide.

The Wise Woman of Hoxton The Wise Woman of Hoxton is a city comedy by the early modern English playwright Thomas Heywood. It was published under the title "The Wise-Woman of Hogsdon" in 1638, though it was probably first performed c. 1604 by the Queen's Men company (of which Heywood was a shareholder), either at The Curtain or perhaps The Red Bull. The play is set in Hoxton, an area that at the time was outside the boundaries of the city of London and notorious for its entertainments and recreations. The Victorian critic F. G. Fleay suggested that Heywood, who was also an actor, originally played the part of Sencer. It has often been compared with Ben Jonson's comic masterpiece "The Alchemist" (1610)—the poet T. S. Eliot, for example, argued that with this play Heywood "succeeds with something not too far below Jonson to be comparable to that master's work".

Like many of Fletcher's later tragicomedies, "The Faithful Shepherdess" deals with the darker side of sexuality and sexual jealousy, albeit within a comic framework.

When the play was first performed, in 1675, the accompanying music was by William Turner.
