Seeing double leads to hilarity in this entertaining comedy about two sets of twins, separated as infants. When Antipholus and his servant Dromio, both of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, confusion reigns. Not only is Ephesus the home of their (unknown) twin brothers, but the men just happen to have identical names. As wives, lovers, merchants and friends encounter the Syracusians, the mistaken identities lead to merry misunderstandings and chaos.
