Kidnapping, romance, and a contest between lover and leno form the plot of Plautus' Poenulus, an ancient comedy that provides a rollicking good time for modern readers and audiences. Scripted in the original Latin and laced with modern props and jokes, the University of North Carolina's rendition captured the attention of both general and classical audiences.


A complete set of materials for teaching, reading, viewing and staging Plautus' Poenulus is now available in a user-friendly format that will breathe new life into the Latin classroom.
