The Pot of Gold and Other Plays

A delightful collection of comedic plays from ancient Rome's master of wit, Plautus. The Pot of Gold leads this merry troupe of mistaken identities, scheming slaves, and domestic chaos that influenced everyone from Shakespeare to modern sitcoms. These translations bring the bawdy humour and clever wordplay to life with surprising freshness. Perfect for theatre enthusiasts, classics students, or anyone who loves discovering where our storytelling traditions really began.
