  1. the first of Shakespeare's comedy plays (c. 1593). It is about a pair of twins, both called Antipholus, who employ another pair of twins, both called Dromio. None of the twins know of their twin brothers because they were separated at birth, so there is great confusion when they all come by chance to the same city. see also George Abbott
