Miles Gloriosus; The Braggart Captain by Titus Maccius Plautus (254 BCE - 184 BCE)
Por: LibriVox
Pleusicles loves Philocomasium, but she is kidnapped by Pyrgopolinices. Palaestrio, faithful servant to Pleusicles, witnesses this and goes to tell his master, but is captured by Pirates and ends up a servant to Pyrgopolinices as well. Palaestrio still gets word to Pleusicles, who arrives on scene. Palaestrio then invents a complex and daring plan involving mistresses, supposed twin sisters, disguises, family friends in the right places, and a monkey to try to escape Pyrgopolinices and reunite Pleusicles and Philocomasium. (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is based on this and two other Plautus plays.) - Summary by ToddHWCast list:Pyrgopolinices, the Braggart Captain: Son of the ExilesArtotrogus, a Parasite: Alan MapstonePeriplecomenus, an old gentleman, the friend of Pleusicles: ToddHWPleusicles, a young Athenian: Adrian StephensPalaestrio, servant of Pyrgopolinices: VocalPenguinSceledrus, another servant of Pyrgopolinices: Mike ManolakesLucrio, a lad, an under-servant of Pyrgopolinices: WendyKatzHillerCario, cook to Periplecomenus: Andrew GaunceA Boy and A Servant: Sandra SchmitPhilocomasium, the mistress of Pyrgopolinices: Matea BracicAcroteleutium, a Courtesan: SoniaMilphidippa, her maid: Jenn BrodaStage Directions: Jim LockeEditing: ToddHW
