"Renowned as one of Shakespeare's most vibrant and sparkling comedies, the drama sends the characters through a tale of mistaken identity, assumed personas, hilarious machinations and whimsical family relationships, with the audience always one step ahead. Egeon is arrested in Ephesus and has 24 hours to find the money for his ransom. Elsewhere in the city, his son Antipholus and his slave Dromio are seeking their long-lost respective twins."@en

"Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the rock band "The Who" described studying Shakespeare in school as "like having a tooth pulled." As star of Shakespeare's shortest play, he makes the viewer's experience far more pleasurable. In a perfect plot for the screen, twin sons whose servants are also twins must find their father before sundown, or he will be executed. Costuming, directions and, of course, music, are beautifully handled. --from website."

He hopes to reunite his family years after the shipwreck which split two sets of twins and separated him from his wife. The quick flowing action and racy dialogues are a reflection of commerce and life along the Elizabethan Thames."@en

"Aegeon of Syracuse has come to Ephesus to seek his son, who went in search of his missing twin and mother months ago. Too bad that Ephesus has just declared war on Syracuse, and will instantly put to death any Syracusean found within their borders unless a ransome's paid. Meanwhile, the son, Antipholus, and his servant, Dromio (also an identical twin), keep running into strangers who seem to know them."@en
