Penguin The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare

A farcical comedy of mistaken identity and outrageous trickery, William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors is edited by Stanley Wells with an introduction by Randall Martin in Penguin Shakespeare. 'We'll leave a proof, by that which we will do, Wives may be merry and yet honest too' Two sets of identical twins - Dromio and Antipholus of Syracuse and their brothers Dromio and Antipholus of Ephesus - having been separated at sea as children, find themselves in the same city for the first time as adults.
