This performance of Plautus' Amphitruo is the product of my Ancient Drama and Performance class at BYU (Classical Civ 340 R). We turned the problem of filling the missing fourth act into an opportunity to address the misogyny in the play by bringing in Juno to put the philandering Jupiter in his place. The first three minutes are boring - you can skip to the good stuff. I hope you enjoy it!

Plautus
Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 – 184 BC), commonly known as Plautus, was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by the innovator of Latin literature, Livius Andronicus. The word Plautine /ˈplɔːtaɪn/ refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his.
Biography
Not much is known about Titus Maccius Plautus' early life. It is believed that he was born in Sarsina, a small town in Emilia Romagna in northern Italy, in around 254 BC. According to Morris Marples, Plautus worked as a stage-carpenter or scene-shifter in his early years. It is from this work, perhaps, that his love of the theater originated. His acting talent was eventually discovered; and he adopted the names "Maccius" (a clownish stock-character in popular farces) and "Plautus" (a term meaning either "flat-footed" or "flat-eared," like the ears of a hound). Tradition holds that he made enough money to go into the nautical business, but that the venture collapsed. He is then said to have worked as a manual laborer and to have studied Greek drama—particularly the New Comedy of Menander—in his leisure. His studies allowed him to produce his plays, which were released between c. 205 and 184 BC. Plautus attained such a popularity that his name alone became a hallmark of theatrical success.

Famous quotes by Plautus:
"Forum"
"For nobody is curious, who isn't malevolent."
"Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend."
"Courage is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things."
"A mouse does not rely on just one hole."
"Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words."
"There's no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it's only a question of comparative badness, brother."
"The day, water, sun, moon, night - I do not have to purchase these things with money."
"'He means well' is useless unless he does well."
"Things we do not expect, happen more frequently than we wish."
"Patience is the best remedy for every trouble."
"Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life."
"No blessing lasts forever."
"Man is not man, but a wolf to those he does not know."
"A mouse never entrusts his life to only one hole."
"Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
"Good merchandise, even hidden, soon finds buyers."
"I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within."
"The greatest talents often lie buried out of sight."
"The poor man who enters into a partnership with one who is rich makes a risky venture."

WE ARE THE BOYS
We are the boys who can turn on the heat
we are the boys and you're under our feet
We've got nothing but the clothes that we wear
We've got that attitude - And we don't care
[chorus:]
Hey! we are the boys
And we make the noise
We call the shots
'Cos hey! we are the boys
We are the boys of another class
We drink the beer while you hold the glass
We take what we can and what we can use
We are the boys and we've got nothing to loose
[chorus]
We are the boys, we like bending the rules
we are the boys and you are the fools
You don't have to pose to mean what you feel
We are the boys and we mean it for real
