Back in the late 16th century, farces based on mistaken identities had audiences rolling in the aisles! And The Comedy of Errors, perhaps Shakespeare’s earliest comedy (c. 1594, but not published until 1623), features not one, but TWO sets of identical twins (with identical names, if you can believe it), who keep on getting confused with one another. Sure, it may all sound a little silly, but renowned literary scholar Harold Bloom wrote that this early comedy "reveals Shakespeare's magnificence at the art of comedy.”
