Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy devises a romantic plot around separated twins, misplaced passions, and mistaken identity. Juxtaposed to it is the satirical story of a self-deluded steward who dreams of becoming “Count Malvolio” only to receive his comeuppance at the hands of the merrymakers he wishes to suppress. The two plots combine to create a farce touched with melancholy, mixed throughout with seductively beautiful explorations on the themes of love and time, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown’s sad song.

The work of Charles and Mary Lamb was written with the declared purpose of bringing the plays of William Shakespeare closer to the heart and mind of two special categories of readers: school children and teenagers.The stories included in the volume are shortened versions of some of the most popular Shakespearian tragedies and comedies. The plot is simplified and the language is made more accessible, by eliminating the ancient forms of the most commonly met words and replacing them with their modern correspondents. However, the authors succeeded in keeping most of the expressions the writer of the plays used, by harmoniously integrating them in the context.Mary Lamb chose to adapt the comedies and other plays with a more serene atmosphere and an optimistic, if not totally happy, ending. The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Comedy of Errors are some of the Shakespearian works she rewrote, so that the young readers may easily understand them.On the other hand, her brother, Charles Lamb, had the difficult mission to bring the great tragedies into the school kids' attention.
