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.
