Four Roman Comedies - The Haunted House;Casina; or A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Wedding;Eunuch;Brothers (Paperback)

The comedies of Platus and Terence are all that survive to us of a great age of Roman comedy theatre. Collected here are four important plays that offer an insight into everyday life in ancient Rome, whilst maintaining a pivotal influence over modern day theatre In "The Haunted House" the intrigues of a clever slave are played out in a virtuoso comic role; Platus's "Casina" is a fast-moving romp through the sexual mores of the Roman upper classes; Terence's more sophisticated "The Eunuch", and "Brothers" are perhaps closer in sentiments to the attitudes of modern comedy and reflect situations with universal appeal.
