Description
A classic Roman comedy. Menaechmus of Syracuse and his faithful slave, set out to find the estranged Menaechmus twin, separated from the family at a young age. Landing in Epidamnus, a city known for its loose morals and loose women, Menaechmus of Syracuse doesn’t realize that he has found the home of his long-lost brother, even though he is almost immediately mistaken for his twin by the wife, mistress, table companion, and father-in-law of his sibling. The two brothers, unaware of each other’s presence, unwittingly make mischief for the other as they work out deals and promises with the inhabitants of Epidamnus, none of whom realize they are dealing with two different people. Chaos and hilarity ensue through the device of mistaken identity played out in a very Seinfeldesque manner.
Written by Titus Maccius Plautus. Edited & Translated by Lionel Casson. Directed by Connie Whitt-Lambert.
The box office phone number is 817-531-4211 for tickets.
