And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.|'''Dromio of Ephesus''', V.i}}

 

 

----

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Nell the kitchen wench, an unseen character, is enamoured of Dromio of Ephesus; he does not return the affection. In what might be an [[Older Than Steam]] subversion, though, Dromio of Syracuse ''does''.

* [[Always Identical Twins]]: The cause of all the trouble, although ironically it's an [[Informed Attribute]] in most productions.

* [[Contrived Coincidence]]

* [[Fat Girl]]: Nell.

'''D. of Syracuse:''' No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip: she is spherical, like a globe; I could find out countries in her. }}

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Oh, ''yes''.

'''D. of Syracuse:''' Oh, sir, I did not look so low. }}

* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: The reason we have two Antipholuses and two Dromios. They're not exactly common names!

* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Twice.

* [[Title Drop]]:

And thereupon these '''errors''' are arose. }}

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: in at least one production, for the benefit of the audience keeping track, the Syracusans wear green and the Ephesians wear blue. No one in the cast notices.
