The Comedy of Errors

When two sets of identical twins unknowingly end up in the same city after being separated by a shipwreck in childhood, the result is pure, glorious chaos. Wives mistake strangers for husbands, servants are beaten for errands they never ran, and the confusion snowballs so wildly that the men themselves begin to question their own sanity. Shakespeare's earliest and most deliriously funny farce builds from mistaken identity to outright madness — then sticks the landing with a family reunion no one saw coming.
