Overview

The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s shortest play. Full of farces, puns, and slapstick humor, the brief play was designed to purely entertain. It is also one of Shakespeare’s only two plays that follow Aristotle’s classical unities. The story follows two sets of identical twins who were separated from their twins at birth. When one pair runs into the families of their brothers, the mistaken identities and chaos begins.
