What is A Mystery of Errors about?
Symington Smythe<br> An ostler and aspiring thespian. <p>Will Shakespeare<br> A fledgling dramatist.</p> <p>Two travelers meet at a roadside inn and decide to cast their lots together for fame and fortune in the cutthroat world of the London theatre in Elizabethan England...but neither was prepared for their offstage encounter with <i>A Mystery of Errors</i>. When a backer's daughter is double-crossed by a would-be suitor, the reluctant bride turns to the ostler and the playwright for help. Little does anyone realize that these simple affairs of the heart and an arranged marriage will lead to a vast web of conspiracy, mistaken identity, and murder that finds the playwright targeted for assassination and the ostler hopelessly in love.</p> <p>But such matters are routine in <i>A Mystery of Errors</i>, where <i>Shakespeare in Love</i> meets the Brother Cadfael mysteries of Ellis Peters.</p>
