The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare
"The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the early 1590s. It tells the story of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth who unknowingly reunite in the city of Ephesus. When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio arrive in town, they encounter the friends and family of their twin brothers, triggering a chaotic series of mistaken identities. Wild mishaps ensue, including wrongful beatings, arrests,
accusations of infidelity and madness, and claims of demonic possession in this farcical comedy of confusion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
