Adelphi or The Brothers - Terence

"Micio and Demea are two brothers of dissimilar tempers. Demea is married, and lives a country life, while his brother remains single, and resides in Athens." Things quickly get a bit messy with hushed-up debauchery, kidnapping/elopement/theft of a slave, general carousing, and marriage nuptials - the usual for the day perhaps, except that: "The Play concludes with a serious warning from Demea, who advises his relatives not to squander their means in riotous living; but, on the contrary, to bear admonition and to submit to restraint in a spirit of moderation and thankfulness." - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Demea, Brother, aged Athenian: Max Körlinge Micio, Brother, aged Athenian: Adam Bielka Hegio, an aged Athenian, kinsman of Sostrata: Ethan Hurst Æschinus, son of Demea, adopted by Micio: Tomas Peter Ctesipho, another son of Demea: Shashank Jakhmola Sannio, a Procurer: Son of the Exiles Geta, servant of Sostrata: ToddHW Parmeno, servant of Micio: Devorah Allen Syrus, servant of Micio: alanmapstone Dromo, servant of Micio: Devorah Allen Pamphila, a young woman beloved by Æschinus: Lydia Sostrata, a widow, mother of Pamphila: KHand Canthara, a Nurse: Eva Davis Stage Directions: Sonia Edited: ToddHW
