Mostellaria

Mostellaria

by Titus Maccius Plautus

Mostellaria, a theatrical delight by the renowned Roman playwright Plautus, is a vibrant tapestry of humor and wit. This captivating comedy weaves together the antics of a spendthrift son, a compassionate prostitute, and a supposedly haunted house. Plautus's signature style shines through with an array of pratfalls, puns, double entendres, and the triumph of the downtrodden. As the plot unfolds, the audience is treated to a non-stop whirlwind of action, laughter, and a touch of the supernatural.
