Join Shadows and Dreams for Shakespeare's earliest and most farcical comedy, set to the sounds of the Big Band era, and filled to the brim with mystery, music and mayhem.

When Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse set out to find their long lost twin brothers, they expected a family reunion, not a family disaster. But when they find their brothers without realizing it, and are mistaken for them by a whole town, a disaster is exactly what they have. Before long they've misplaced a thousand marks, they've accidentally stolen a gold chain, and have suddenly acquired wives (and children!) that they have never met before today. And soon both pairs of brothers are on the run, from the law, the mobsters, their wives, a sultry jazz singer, and a sinister mountebank, all the while racing against time to save a father that none of them even know is in danger.
