The Comedy of Errors

One of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors is a farce of mistaken identities, taking place in the course of one whirlwind day. The play involves two sets of twins, separated at birth: the Antipholi and the Dromios. When Antipholus of Syracuse arrives in the city of Ephesus, everyone seems to know him: women shower him with affection, while men shower him with money and jewels.
