Take one pair of estranged twin brothers (both named Antipholus); add one pair of estranged twin servants (both named Dromio); throw them in a city known for sorcery; and what do you get? Shakespeare's breeziest and most farcical comedy, overflowing with slapstick, romance, word play and, of course, mistaken identities.
In this original adaptation for five actors, the Dromios and Antipholi are on the verge of finding each other after decades of separation ... if they can only keep from bumbling into trouble that could land them in prison - or worse.
