THE COMEDY OF ERRORS!
Aegeon and Aemelia are a happy couple with two pairs of twins: one of the pairs are of their own blood, and the other pair are servants to their twins. Unfortuantely, the couple gets separated, each having a boy of each pair, and coincidentally name the boys exactly the same: Antipholus is the name of the rich one, and Dromio is the name of the servant. Aegeon one day travels to Ephesus, where he is captured by the Duke, who sentences him to death unless his fine is paid. Will Antipholus of Syracuse be able to get him the money? Or will his twin get in the way?
THE COMEDY OF ERRORS: SCENE 1
The very first scene is where the Duke tells Aegeon he has to get 1000 marks before the day ends, or he will die. Aegeon is being held by the buff officer.
