Description:
Set in ancient Ephesus, the story follows two boys from Syracuse, Anthipholus and his servant Dromio, as they search for their missing twins. Due to a series of mistaken identities, the twins are also named Anthipholus and Dromio. The situation becomes complicated when the Ephesians' wife, Adriana, and her servant Luce, mistakenly believe the two strangers are their husband and servant. Eventually, the confusion is resolved when Adriana's sister Luciana and the Syracuse Antipholus reveal their affections.
