The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare’s early plays. It is his shortest and one of his most farcical comedies with a major part of the humor stemming from wordplay and mistaken identity. It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen, and musical theatre. The play tells the story of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, astonishingly the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twin relatives, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession.
