Menaechmi; or, The Twin Brothers

Menaechimus was carried away as a child to Epidamnus. Years later his twin-brother arrives also in Epidamnus, where because of his resemblance to his brother, he is mistaken for him by everybody. "This play was the foundation of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors." (Note that the etext has many footnotes that explain puns and allusions that might not be obvious in the translation.) - Summary by ToddHW and Translator Cast list: Menaechimus of Epidamnus:Greg Giordano [https://librivox.org/reader/8011] Menaechimus Sosicles, his twin-brother:Wayne Cooke [https://librivox.org/reader/12980] Peniculus, a Parasite:Alan Mapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Messenio, the servant of Menaechimus Sosicles:Rémi [https://librivox.org/reader/12501] Cylindrus, a Cook:Jake Malizia [https://librivox.org/reader/16463] An Old Man, Father-in-law of Menaechimus Sosicles:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] A Doctor:Sonia [https://librivox.org/reader/10179] The Wife of Menaechimus of Epidamnus:WendyKatzHiller [https://librivox.org/reader/15373] Erotium, a Courtesan:Jenn Broda [https://librivox.org/reader/13140] Maid-Servant of Erotium:Availle [https://librivox.org/reader/4174] Servant:Andrew Gaunce [https://librivox.org/reader/14540] Prologue:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Stage Directions:Lynette Caulkins [https://librivox.org/reader/13661] Editing:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754]
