Menaechmi: The Menaechmus Brothers by Plautus, David Christenson
funny
fast-paced
3.25
Read for my early Shakespeare class.
We read this as a source play to Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, and I can really see the influence PLautus had on him! While I haven't read Comedy of Errors yet, I can see Plautus' influence even in Shakespeare's later works, like Twelfth Night. The humor drawing from mistaken identities is always quite a fun theme, especially with all the drama that comes with it. This makes me excited to read more Shakespeare!
