The Comedy of Errors

What a wonderful play this was! And without doubt, this was my quickest read ever. It was hilarious and I couldn't help laughing aloud all along.
The key theme is mistaken identity and the chaos that ensues in the wake of that mistaken identity. It looks like Shakespeare was in love with the theme of mistaken identity which he used later in his comedy, Twelfth Night.
In this play, there are two sets of master and servant who are identical. In fact, the master pair and the servant pair are twins who have been estranged at birth. Neither one knows that he has a twin brother. In this light, only confusion can follow when the two set were thrown in the same city.
It was an entertaining read. And by far, this is the funniest Shakespearean play I have read. Enjoyed it.
