La Comédie des Méprises

by William Shakespeare

"La Comédie des Méprises" by William Shakespeare is one of Shakespeare's earliest plays. Two sets of identical twins are accidentally separated at birth and reunite years later in the Greek city of Ephesus—without knowing the other pair is there. When the traveling twins encounter the friends and family of their local counterparts, chaos erupts through mistaken identities, leading to wrongful beatings, arrests, accusations of madness, and demonic possession in this farcical comedy of errors.
