A fresh translation of The Casket (or Cistellaria) by Plautus. A young man is in love with an ’unsuitable’ young woman - a courtesan. His father disapproves and has in mind a much more suitable (ie. lucrative) match. The play allows the audience to consider and interpret the Roman world of the citizen, the slave and the courtesan.First produced in 202BC, some of the original text has been lost, but this translation completes the gaps to produce a rounded play.

Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
