Emilia and Aegeon and their twin sons, the Antipholus, and
the twin sons they have adopted, the Dromios, are on board
a ship when a mighty storm splits the vessel in two -
husband and wife, brother and brother are seemingly
separated for ever.
In search of their family, Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse
venture across the world to Ephesus where they come upon
what seems to be a topsy turvy crazy town.
The madness, the misunderstandings, the confusion is, of
course, because everyone thinks they are their twin brothers
who have, as it happens, comfortably settled in Ephesus.
Shakespeare’s early comedy is a rip roaring farce of
mistaken identity .. fast and fun and deeply touching when,
at last, the parents and the brothers are happily reunited.
