About This Book

La pièce met en scène la confusion provoquée par deux paires de jumeaux séparés dès l'enfance: deux frères identiques et leurs deux serviteurs, également semblables, se retrouvent par hasard dans la même ville, d'où naissent malentendus, accusations d'infidélité, arrestations et pertes de biens. Les quiproquos multiplient scènes comiques et situations embarrassantes — réceptions erronées, amours contrariées, recours à une abbesse et poursuites judiciaires — jusqu'à ce qu'une reconnaissance publique devant le duc éclaire les identités et permette la réconciliation.
