The Comedy of Errors follows two sets of twins separated by stormy seas, telling a story of mistaken identity that leads to delightful mayhem. When one pair dares to trespass into a foreign city to find the other, the comedy of errors begins and the long-lost brothers must overcome wrongful imprisonment, angry wives, and hilarious confusion on their journey to a joyful reunion.
