The Comedy of Errors is one of only two of Shakespeare's plays which obey the three unities of classical dramatic theory: unity of time, place and action. Well, it obeys the first two anyway, since the action is actually not as unified as it is in such plays as Oedipus Rex or Racine's Phaedre. To Shakespeare, a play without subplots is a play not worth watching.
