The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In the bustling port city of Ephesus, a long-separated family is pulled into a day of wild confusion when two sets of identical twins unknowingly cross paths. Antipholus of Syracuse arrives searching for the brother he has never met, with his loyal servant Dromio at his side. But Ephesus already has an Antipholus and a Dromio - and the city is ready to treat the newcomers as if they belong to lives they do not recognize. Mistaken identities ignite a chain reaction: a sharp-tongued wife demands attention from the wrong husband, creditors close in with growing impatience, and friends, merchants, and law officers all become convinced someone is lying, bewitched, or mad. As the misunderstandings multiply, what begins as a heartfelt search for family turns into a high-speed farce of missed connections, disrupted marriages, and escalating accusations. Behind the slapstick and wordplay, the story probes questions of who we are without our history, how easily society assigns roles, and how fragile reputation can be when appearances rule the day.
