Summary

A Comedy of Errors: Twice the Trouble, Double the Laughs

Two sets of identical twins, separated at sea as children, find themselves in the same city for the first time as adults. Soon, their friends mistake the twins for one another and bewilderment abounds, as the wife of one man declares the other to be her husband, pronouncing him mad when he denies the claim.

Exuberant, complex and brilliantly farcical, this is a hilarious comedy of confusion and ultimate reunion.
