Set in the city of Ephesus, The Comedy of Errors concerns the farcical misadventures of two sets of identical twins.

220 East 72nd Street

The Comedy of Errors

The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare

Description from Folger Shakespeare Library: The lost twin sons of the old merchant Egeon--both named Antipholus--find themselves in Ephesus, without either one even knowing of the other's existence. Meanwhile, Egeon has arrived in search of the son he thinks is still alive--and has been sentenced to death for the "crime" of being from Syracuse. To add to the confusion, the two Antipholuses have twin servants, both named Dromio. As the four men unwittingly encounter each other, the play is crammed with wildly escalating misunderstandings before the truth emerges and Egeon is pardoned.
