A proposito di questo titolo
 Another of the plays by Terence translated from the Latin by Riley. "A certain citizen of Athens had a daughter named Pamphila, and a son called Chremes. The former was stolen while an infant, and sold to a Rhodian merchant, who having made a present of her to a Courtesan of Rhodes, she brought her up with her own daughter Thais, who was somewhat older." (From Translator summary) Hmmm, so kidnapping and slavery to start off; then there will be eunuchs and rape before the play ends. And it is a comedy?! Ah, well, it was 200BC. Times and opinions (thank goodness) have changed at least a bit since then. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Laches, an aged Athenian: Jim Locke Phædria, his son: Aaron White Chærea, his son: Tomas Peter Antipho, a young man, friend of Chærea: Campbell Schelp Chremes, a young man, brother of Pamphila: Owen Cook Thraso, a boastful Captain: alanmapstone Gnatho, a Parasite: ToddHW Parmeno, servant of Phædria: KHand Sanga, cook to Thraso: Sandra Schmit Dorus, a Eunuch slave: Frédéric Surget Thais, a Courtesan: Foon Pythias, her attendant: Sonia Dorias, her attendant: Leanne Yau Sophrona, a nurse: Leanne Yau Stage Directions: Larry Wilson Edited By: ToddHWCopyright Comedy Genre Arte Letteratura e narrativa Storia e critica della letteratura
