Adelphi: or, The Brothers

"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 [https://librivox.org/reader/6333] Micio, Brother, aged Athenian:Adam Bielka [https://librivox.org/reader/13830] Hegio, an aged Athenian, kinsman of Sostrata:Ethan Hurst [https://librivox.org/reader/13851] Æschinus, son of Demea, adopted by Micio:Tomas Peter [https://librivox.org/reader/10789] Ctesipho, another son of Demea:Shashank Jakhmola [https://librivox.org/reader/13652] Sannio, a Procurer:Son of the Exiles [https://librivox.org/reader/8879] Geta, servant of Sostrata:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Parmeno, servant of Micio:Devorah Allen [https://librivox.org/reader/11084] Syrus, servant of Micio:alanmapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Dromo, servant of Micio:Devorah Allen [https://librivox.org/reader/11084] Pamphila, a young woman beloved by Æschinus:Lydia [https://librivox.org/reader/8883] Sostrata, a widow, mother of Pamphila:KHand [https://librivox.org/reader/8677] Canthara, a Nurse:Eva Davis [https://librivox.org/reader/11417] Stage Directions:Sonia [https://librivox.org/reader/10179] Edited:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754]
