William Shakespeare 
Comedy of Errors 
A Comedy

Identical twins separated at birth provides the foundation for humour in one of Shakespeares earlier plays. The young twin sons of Egeon, alongside another set of young twin boys, purchased as slaves, are lost to one another during a tempest at sea. As each searches for the other, the stage is set for a romp that revolves around mistaken identity, physical mishaps, and the comedy of errors referenced in the title.
