Rudens; or The Fisherman's Rope

by Titus Maccius Plautus

A comedy - although with human trafficking. Also a tempest, a shipwreck or two (described by the actors but invisible to the audience - and thus perfectly adapted to an audioplay), a wallet with special trinkets lost at sea, and a special fishing line.... And of course the almost unpronounceable names of antiquity. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Arcturus, who speaks the Prologue: Greg Giordano Daemones, an aged Athenian, now living at Cyrene: ToddHW Plesidippus, a young Athenian, in love with Palaestra: Priamedes Sceparnio, Servant of Daemones: Alan Mapstone Gripus, Servant of Daemones: Larry Wilson Turbalio, Servant of Daemones: Inkell Trachalio, the servant of Plesidippus: Beeswaxcandle Labrax, a Procurer: Sonia Charmides, a Sicilian, his guest: Ehsan Ahmed Mehedi Fisherman of Cyrene: Michael Faze Ptolemocratia, Priestess of Venus: Agnes Robert Behr Palaestra, young woman in the possession of Labrax: Jenn Broda Ampelisca, young woman in the possession of Labrax: laurakgibbs Stage Dir
