John Wright, Northwestern University This splendid sampling of Roman comedy is particularly welcome because Parker and Berg have combined the best known (and perhaps finest) comedies of Plautus and Terence (The Brothers Menaechmus, here 'ouble Bind,'and Miles Gloriosus, here 'ajor Blowhard,'and Adelphoe, 'he Brothers' with two rarer and rather special comedies: 'he Wild Wild Women,'Plautus'exuberant Bacchides, and 'he Mother-in-Law'(Hecyra), perhaps Terence' most modern comedy, important as evidence from ancient comedy for the evolution of the sentimental or psychological drama of everyday life.Codex Turnebi of Plautus by W. The sparkling and eminently performable translations are a hard act to precede, but the translator's delightful introductions are a worthy match for their subjects. David Frauenfelder, North Carolina State University Deena Berg and Douglass Parker's Plautus & Terence: Five Comedies is a fascinating postmodernist rendition of some of the most postmodernist-metatheatrical, self-referential, sophisticated, stylized-literature classical antiquity has to offer. The profession will be well repaid to take an appreciative look. theater-friendly versions offer a vision of the future of Roman comedy, both scholarly and popular. This is a deceptively important book, meriting a wide, attentive readership. After reading these plays we might spend considerable thought on the possibility that conservative translations in the style of Barsby are less authentic-if such a thing can be measured-than those of Berg and Parker. There is much virtue to be measured here. Of modern-day attempts at Plautus-inspired music, for example, only Stephen Sondheim has excelled the inspired zaniness of Douglass Parker's lyrics. These versions have verve: playability, liveliness, accessibility, unlike anything on library shelves today. take to its logical, lively conclusion the long-held but oft-ignored reality that Plautus and Terence were writers for the stage.

Clark, The Classical Outlook These five new translations. The translators have paid more attention to stage directions than is usually given in translations, because they aim to show how these plays worked. Students in schools and colleges will benefit from short introductions to each play, to Roman stage conventions, to different types of Greek and Roman comedy, and there is a note on staging, with a diagram illustrating a typical Roman stage and further diagrams of the basic set for each play. Accuracy to the original has been thoroughly respected, but look at the humour in rendering Diphilius' play called Synapothnescontes as Three's a Shroud. All versions are exceedingly witty and versatile, in verse that ripples from one's lips, pulling all the punches of Plautus, the knockabout king of farce, and proving that the more polished Terence can be just as funny. I smiled and laughed on every page." - Christopher Brunelle, Vanderbilt University. "Good translations are rare, good jokes even rarer this volume in very rare fashion gives us plenty of both. Concise and helpful comments." - Ann Thomas Williams, Duquesne University. "A very readable translation that students will enjoy. "What a delight to have these lively, funny, readable, actable versions available! This really fills a need for ancient drama and theatre history courses." - Diane Arnson Svarlien, Georgetown College. The translations are funny, accessible, and fast-paced, and all of the stage directions help me and my students imagine these comedies as real, performed, popular theatre." - Anne Duncan, Arizona State University. "This book is perfect for my course on spectacle and entertainment in Rome. "This is a book to be used and enjoyed." - Raymond J Clark, The Classical Outlook.
