This summer, we’re going wayyyy back to one of the B.C. O.G.s, Titus Maccius Plautus. Falconbridge Players schedules our first trip to ancient Italy with Rudens (The Rope), a classic comedy originally written in Latin.
Roman drama is largely a mystery because so few of the plays actually survived to modern-day. Rudens is one of the best plays available to our modern ears and voices. It’s a shipwreck-peril, long-lost-family tale that will seem both familiar and fresh to fans of everything from Twelfth Night to Pirates Of the Caribbean, and there’s even a handy primer explaining the stock jokes which tickled Plautus’ contemporaries. Join us for a staged reading August 27, 7 PM at Arts + Literature Laboratory for a staged reading over 2,000 years in the making! RSVP here.
