[Comedias] Query: Comedia Look-Alikes?

[AHCT Listserv]

If you're only looking for TIrso, I think the look-alike problem is the plot of El árbol de mejor fruto.  I'll plug En la vida todo es verdad y todo mentira in which two young men of the same age are hard to differentiate.  If you want actual twins, then Ursón y Valentín. I know there are a ton of plays about twins, but I just haven't had my coffee yet.

Yours,

John

Saludos!

A quick question for the all-knowing comedia hive mind: besides Tirso's El castigo del penseque, do people know of any other comedias in which the plot hinges on a character's being (mis)taken for someone else due to an unusual degree of physical resemblance?  Any comedias involving look-alikes or twins?

Thank you!
