Plautus, Amphitryo | Dramatic Reading of the Famous Comedy

1 hour 23 min of Latin audio in 11 audio files, plus PDF of original text (audio recording is based off the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata [LLPSI] series reader edited by Hans Ørberg). Titus Maccius Plautus (254-184 BC) was a playwright of the Roman Republic whose hilarious comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. The Amphitryo is a particularly ridiculous affair! The themes, characters, and tropes such as mistaken identity, jealously, and redemption, are recognisable to fans of classic comedies in the modern era, from Friends to The Marriage of Figaro. The timeless nature of the subject matter and comic style make this truly ancient work eminently accessible and enjoyable. The fun of the comedy is reflected in the voice acting: characters are vividly portrayed each with a distinct sound that makes their presence on the imaginary stage easy to imagine. This audiobook is a dramatized recording of the entire play (with a few minor abridgements).
