‘The Comedy of Errors’ is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved and oft-performed comedies. Based on a farce by the Roman playwright Plautus, the play is a classic story of mistaken identity involving two sets of twins who are separated at birth and then reunited as adults.
Antipholus of Syracuse (in company with his servant, Dromio) is searching for his lost father, who has ventured to the country of Ephesus to look for his missing son. While in Ephesus, both Antipholus and Dromio are mistaken for their twin brothers and their lives quickly spin out of control, all to delightful comic effect.
One of Shakespeare’s earliest and most ridiculous comedic plays, ‘The Comedy of Errors’ is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

William Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest dramatist in the history of English literature. Also a poet and actor, Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, where he received an education at the local grammar school, but whether he attended any educational institution subsequent to his early tutelage is unknown. By eighteen, Shakespeare was married – to an already-pregnant Anne Hathaway – and the couple would go on to have three children, Susanna and the twins Hamnet and Judith. (Hamnet died at 11 years old.) Shakespeare moved to London soon after the birth of the twins and began publishing poems (‘Venus and Adonis’ (1593) and ‘The Rape of Lucrece’ (1594)) and joined the Lord Chamberlain’s Men as an actor and playwright. Shakespeare stayed with the Lord Chamberlain’s Men throughout his career, producing some of his finest work – ‘King Lear, ‘ ‘Macbeth’ and ‘The Tempest’ among them – after the company fell under the patronage of King James I and became The King’s Men. During his career, Shakespeare penned 38 plays, two narrative poems and over 150 sonnets and enjoyed considerable financial success, eventually buying New Place, one of the largest homes in Stratford. Following his death in 1616 at the age of 52, thirty-six of his plays were collected and published as the First Folio and his entire canon – including his extant plays, sonnets and poems – were published as The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare’s plays are the most produced dramatic works in existence and they have been translated and adapted into countless stage, screen and television productions over the years. Entire theatres are devoted to producing his works and his writings are studied and analyzed in literature classes around the world.
