The Comedy of Errors

Mistaken identity and slapstick humor drive the plot, as two sets of twins, separated by a shipwreck, converge in Ephesus, leading to comedic chaos. Antiholes and his slave Dromio's search for their lost twins results in a series of misunderstandings. Themes of family loyalty, identity, coincidence, and love are woven throughout, highlighting the complexities of relationships. As one of Shakespeare's earliest and shortest works, it showcases his talent for wordplay and farce.
