Cistellaria; or, The Casket

The casket is a small box with recognition tokens in it so that someone can prove that they are who they claim to be. Which tells you that there will be quite the confusion with people in this play being other than whom they seem to be, are believed to be, or even whom they believe themselves to be. Plus rape, incest, attempted murder by exposure, kidnapping, slavery.... Good thing this all takes place almost 2500 years ago. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: The God of Help, who speaks the Prologue:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Demipho, a merchant of Lemnos:Larry Wilson [https://librivox.org/reader/8425] Alcesimarchus, a young man of Sicyon:KeltonLee [https://librivox.org/reader/20007] Lampadiscus, servant of Demipho:Alan Mapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Phanostrata, wife of Demipho:Sonia [https://librivox.org/reader/10179] Silenium, their daughter, beloved by Alcesimarchus:ShrimpPhish [https://librivox.org/reader/19584] Melaenis, a Procuress:valroth [https://librivox.org/reader/18140] Halisca, her servant:Agnes Robert Behr [https://librivox.org/reader/18543] A Procuress, the mother of Gymnasium:WendyKatzHiller [https://librivox.org/reader/15373] Gymnasium, a Courtesan:Rapunzelina [https://librivox.org/reader/6924] Stage Directions:Inkell [https://librivox.org/reader/17662] Editing:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754]
