De Klucht der Vergissingen

by William Shakespeare

Translated by L. A. J. Burgersdijk

"De Klucht der Vergissingen" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written around 1592-1594. Two sets of identical twins—masters and their servants—are reunited in Ephesus after years of separation following a shipwreck. The brothers from Syracuse unknowingly enter a city at war with their homeland, risking execution. Mistaken identities spiral into accusations of theft, infidelity, madness, and possession as citizens confuse one twin for another. Meanwhile, a father searches desperately for his lost family, unaware his sons are nearby in this chaotic web of errors.
