Read

"Die Irrungen, oder die Doppelten Zwillinge" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written between 1592 and 1594. Set in Ephesus, the play centers on two sets of identical twins separated at birth during a shipwreck. When they unknowingly converge in the same city years later, a whirlwind of mistaken identities ensues. Wives confront the wrong husbands, servants receive baffling commands, and accusations fly as no one can distinguish between the doubles. The chaos builds toward a revelatory finale.
