The Menaechmus Brothers tells the story of twin brothers separated in childhood by a vile kidnapper. Now adults, they find themselves in the Greek city of Epidamnus. Mistaken identity abounds as they meet everyone in the city, except for each other. Featuring a cast of clueless twins, clever slaves, seductive prostitutes, quack doctors, burly sailors, disgruntled wives, gourmet chefs, tottering fathers and even a hungry parasite–audiences will be laughing, while seeing double.
