Incorrect, Egeon and Emilia did not name their twins both Antipholus. They had different names, but the shipwreck confused both, and each parent believed they had saved the Antipholus son. Same goes for the Dromios in the play.

This is a high quality example of a video that a group of students could easily make.

1:34 it's cute ^^

False advertising. This is four times as long as the title suggests.

[@bsharpmajorscale]

30 seconds for each twin? :P

If the purpose of the video is to catch students' attention and point out the potential for humor in the script, then I think it does an OK job. If, on the other hand, the intention is to provide a clear overview of the plot, then this video will not be very effective. I think it's fun to see the actors talk about the plot, but as always, students won't understand it until they discover the events for themselves.

You're right, it's not a good overview, but you'd never understand any overview if you haven't read the actual story. I used it as a refresher from when I read it a few months ago.
