Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors: University of South Carolina Drayton Hall
Tonight – Saturday April 23, 2011
Shakespeare’s wacky tale of mistaken identity centers on two sets of twins, separated at birth, and the commotion they cause when they unexpectedly show up in the same place. When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio, travel to the foreign land of Ephesus, they find themselves mistaken for two others with the same names who turn out to be their identical twins. Mix-ups lead to mayhem as the two sets of brothers, and their frazzled family and friends, try to sort out the mess. It is widely believed that Shakespeare based the story on the work Menaechmi by the Roman playwright Plautus (254 BC – 184 BC). Comedy of Errors details here.
