Shakespeare was only one of a large number of playwrights working in London during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. He worked with many others, most notably John Fletcher, with whom he collaborated on many plays. Fletcher was being groomed as Shakespeare's successor and went on to collaborate famously with Beaumont.

On the other hand, there were many playing companies and theatres in competition with each other. Whoever could write popular plays which would bring in the crowds would make himself and his associates rich. All of the playwrights were competing in this way.

The Comedy of Errors is by Shakespeare. The Boys from Syracuse is not. It has a very similar plot, and the Shapespeare play was its source, but it was written by George Abbot. It is also a musical, whereas there are no musical breaks in the Shakespeare play. The Twins by Plautus is another play with a similar plot which was Shakespeare's source for his play.
