"The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the early 1590s. Two sets of identical twins are accidentally separated at birth and unknowingly reunited years later in the city of Ephesus. When one pair arrives in town, they encounter the friends and families of their twin brothers, triggering a whirlwind of mistaken identities. The resulting chaos includes wrongful beatings, arrests, accusations of madness and infidelity, and a near-seduction—all building toward a farcical crescendo of confusion and revelation.
