The Comedy of Errors
What happens when you get mistaken for your twin brother and your wife locks you out of your own home? This is the dilemma for Antipholus of Syracuse. Or is the Antipholus of Ephesus? Their father could tell the difference between them. But he's locked up and will be put to death in twenty-four hours unless a fine of a thousand marks is paid. Their mother might help but since the shipwreck nobody knows where she is. Perhaps the servants will sort it out. Hang on, they look very similar too! A comedy about a family putting itself back together again - just in time.
