The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare
QR code
"The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written in the early 1590s. Two sets of identical twins are separated at birth and unknowingly reunite in the city of Ephesus. When the Syracuse brothers encounter the friends and family of their Ephesian twins, chaos erupts through mistaken identities. Wild mishaps ensue, including wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, false arrests, and accusations of madness and demonic possession. This farcical tale of confusion
remains Shakespeare's shortest play. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
