The Comedy of Errors
by William Shakespeare
 
Two sets of identical twins, both separated as babies, find
themselves in the same town on the same day - two masters,
both called Antipholus, and two servants, both called Dromio.
 
Adriana, wife of Antipholus of Ephesus, thinks Antipholus of
Syracuse is her husband…Antipholus of Syracuse makes love
to Adriana’s sister, not knowing that she thinks he is her
brother-in-law…a goldsmith, commissioned to make a chain for
Antipholus of Ephesus, gives it to Antipholus of Syracuse - and
then demands payment from Antipholus of Ephesus…
The two Dromios, sent on various errands through the city,
constantly meet each other’s masters and are beaten for
failing to carry out their orders…
 
The Comedy of Errors is a glorious celebration of chaos and
disorder, culminating in a heart-warming happy end as the long-
lost brothers find themselves and discover their own identities.
