The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare is a classic comedy that revolves around the chaotic and humorous events caused by two sets of identical twins separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, unaware that this city is the home of their long-lost twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio of Ephesus. As the two sets of twins unknowingly cross paths, a series of wild and entertaining mishaps ensue, driven by mistaken identities.
