The Brothers Menaechmus
by Plautus, translated and adapted by Erich Segal
Directed by John Gulley
Sept 23-24 & Sept 28-Oct.2
Uproariously funny, Plautus' The Brothers Menaechmus tells the story of separated identical twin brothers who unwittingly end up in the same town: hilarity ensues.
Mistaken identity, adultery, foiled plots,
twists, turns, and near misses!
The Brothers Menaechmus has it all!
Early farce at its best,
The Brothers Menaechmus is the play on which
Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors is based.
