The Comedy of Errors

"The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare is one of Shakespeare's earliest plays. Two sets of identical twins are accidentally separated at birth—masters and servants alike. When one pair arrives in Ephesus, the home of their unknown brothers, chaos erupts through mistaken identities. Wrongful beatings, arrests, accusations of madness and infidelity multiply as friends and family confuse one twin for another. This farcical comedy builds toward a climactic unraveling as all parties collide in escalating confusion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
