"The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare is a funny play about what happens when identical twins who were split up when they were born end up in the same city. The play is full of mix-ups and confusing situations because nobody knows who is who. At the beginning, we meet a man who is in trouble for trading in the wrong city, and he tells a sad story about losing his family, including his twin sons, both named Antipholus. One of these sons comes to the city without knowing his twin is already there, which causes even more craziness and funny problems, especially with their servants, who are also twins named Dromio. The start of the play sets up all the confusion and silliness that is about to happen.
