Egeon and Emelia have twin sons, Antipholus of Syracuse
and Antipholus of Ephesus. Thirty three years before
the present, a storm separates them from their sons
and their twin servants, Dromio of Syracuse and
Dromio of Ephesus. Egeon, Antipholus of Syracuse
and Dromio of Syracuse spend the next years in Syracuse.
Emelia survives with Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio
of Ephesus, a fisherman steals the boys and Emelia
becomes a nun in Ephesus. Later Antipholus of Ephesus
and Dromio of Ephesus move to Ephesus, where Antipholus
of Ephesus marries Adriana, who has a sister Luciana.
For seven years Egeon has searched for his lost
family. He arrives in Ephesus and is sentenced to
death for entering enemy territory. When Antipholus
of Syracuse and Dromio of Syracuse enter Ephesus
they are mistaken for their brothers, causing much
confusion. The family is reunited. Egeon is pardoned,
Antipholus of Syracuse courts Luciana and they feast
to celebrate their reunion.
