«Los gemelos» is an adaptation of Plautus's Menaechmi: a man arrives in the city where his twin brother, separated from him since childhood, lives, and their resemblance unleashes a chain of mistaken identities and recognitions. The confusion of identities is the core of this comedy, which influenced Shakespeare and Goldoni.

Aimed at students of classical literature and theater, and at readers interested in comedies of errors and the Western dramatic tradition.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
