Plautus' Casina is a lively and well composed farce. The plot,
which concerns the competition of a father and his son for the same
girl and the various scurrilous tricks employed in the process,
gives full scope to Plautus' inventiveness and richly comic
language. The editors' aim is to establish the play as one of the
liveliest of ancient comedies, and in their introduction and notes
to make the reader continually aware of the conditions of an actual
stage performance. They discuss the background and conventions of
Roman comedy and by offering a complete metrical analysis they help
the reader to appreciate the original musical structure of the
play. The edition is intended primarily for use by students at
school and university but will be of value to anyone interested in
reading the play in the original.
