A proposito di questo titolo
 Terence's six plays are comedies written while he was a slave to a Roman senator. NOTE: the main plot elements in Hecyra are quite unacceptable today: Pamphilus has just married a woman he does not recognize that he had earlier raped in a drunken fit; nor does she recognize him. His mistress Bacchis is upset with the marriage and rejects him. He then wanders off, returning only in time to discover his wife with a new child that can't possibly be his. It takes both Mother and Mother-in-Law, and Bacchis, to bring a happy ending out of this confusion. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Laches, an aged Athenian, father of Pamphilus: ToddHW Phidippus, an aged Athenian, father of Philumena: alanmapstone Pamphilus, son of Laches: Tomas Peter Sosia, servant of Pamphilus: Nemo Parmeno, servant of Sostrata: Eva Davis Sostrata, wife of Laches: Beth Thomas Myrrhina, wife of Phidippus: TJ Burns Bacchis, a Courtesan: Sonia Philotis, a Courtesan: Devorah Allen Syra, a Procuress: Availle Stage directions: Leanne Yau Edited by: ToddHW
