The Comedy of Errors is a delightful tale revolving around two sets of twins who are separated at birth by a fierce storm at sea. The pairs include masters (both named Antipholus) and their servants (both named Dromio). Years later, the Antipholus-and-Dromio pair raised in Syracuse accidentally visit Ephesus, where their respective twins reside. This sets the stage for a series of hilarious incidents of mistaken identity, leading to lively plots filled with quarrels, arrests, and a grand courtroom denouement.

Based on a pair of comic dramas from ancient Rome, The Comedy of Errors is a spectacle of pure farce in the spirit of utmost fun and—as the title suggests—hilarious confusion. As one of Shakespeare's earliest dramatic efforts, the play is rich with his trademark conceits, puns, and other forms of fanciful wordplay. This work also foreshadows his later and greatest comedies, offering students and scholars a valuable key to the playwright's development.

The story unfolds in an unnamed city in northern Argentina, close to the border with Paraguay, a setting reminiscent of the city of Corrientes.

Dr. Eduardo Plarr, a local physician torn by his own divided loyalties, steps in as the negotiator between the rebels and the authorities. These fumbling characters enact an absurd drama of failure, hope, love, and betrayal against a backdrop of political chaos.

The Honorary Consul is not only a gripping novel of suspense but also a penetrating psychological and sociological study of personal and political corruption.
