Menaechmi; Or, The Twin-Brothers. Plautus

Considered to be Plautus's greatest play, «Menaechmi; Or, The Twin-Brothers» is the story of two twin brothers, Menaechmus and Sosicles, who are separated at age seven when their father takes Menaechmus on a business trip. This classic play, which provided the inspiration for Shakespeare's «Comedy of Errors», draws heavily on the theme of mistaken identity.
