Two sets of identical twins, separated at birth, end up in the same city on the same day, triggering a cascade of mistaken identities, wrongful beatings, and bewildered spouses. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio are constantly confused with their twins Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant Dromio. Shakespeare's shortest and most farcical comedy resolves with a joyful family reunion.
