The Comedy of Errors

“Until I know this sure uncertainty, I’ll entertain the offered fallacy.” Shipwrecked by a storm at sea, two sets of identical twins are separated soon after their birth. When years later, they happen to be in the same city, what follows is a drama of mistaken identities, word play, confusion, and bafflement. One of the early romantic comedies of Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors is his shortest written comedy. A sensational farce, this play has undergone several adaptations across the theatre, opera, screen, musical, and prose. It continues to be staged worldwide, enthralling the public.
