# The Comedy of Errors

_The Works of William Shakespeare \[Cambridge Edition\] \[9 vols.\]_

By William Shakespeare.

"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 reunite unknowingly in the city of Ephesus years later. When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio arrive in town, they are repeatedly mistaken for their twin brothers who live there. The confusion triggers a chaotic series of mistaken identities, wrongful beatings, accusations of madness, and marital misunderstandings in this farcical comedy of mishaps. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
