Sceledrus, Act 5 (corrected), duration 1:04

As for Sceledrus' disappearance and reappearance in the play, my guess is that when the original company of actors performed it in Plautus' time, that actor was needed to play a different role in Acts 3 and 4 (possibly even Acroteleutium, if it was an all-male company).

hm yes, you may be right, but it's so astonishing that he would have such a small part in the final act, considering the huge role he started out with.MManolakes wrote: ↑October 21st, 2020, 2:04 pmSceledrus, Act 5 (corrected), duration 1:04

Palaestrio, Act 2 (23:58): https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/milesgloriosus_palaestrio_2_128kb.mp3
This guy sure likes to talk! He makes that quite clear right from his first line!

indeed, another big talker. The play seems to have quite a lot of those. And you kinda relate the entire plot to the audience right from the start, talk about spoilers. In modern plays the "twin-stratagem" would not have been discovered so openly right from the start, but would more come as a highlight at the end.VocalPenguin wrote: ↑October 26th, 2020, 1:22 pmPalaestrio, Act 2 (23:58): https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/milesgloriosus_palaestrio_2_128kb.mp3

Excellently performed, flawlessly narrated. No bits missing, everything great in character. Gotta love Palaestrio. Looking forward to his next acts.
PL ok. Thank you !

and here is the lovely Acroteleutium, courtesan extraordinaire, to be hired for any honey-trap job you may require

Recording time: 4:12 min.
Please note that in Act 4, Scene VI (p. 132) I recorded a sentence that was assigned to Milphidippa, in my opinion it should be Acroteleutium saying this. First of all because it makes sense that it would be her to say this and Milphidippa replying to her, and secondly, because otherwise Milphidippa would say two parts in a row, which doesn't make sense. You can judge best when you listen to it all assembled.
Hope you like the flirty chick.

Flirty chick? Are you going to change your forum name?

Well, flirty chick indeed. Hrummph. Well done if morally suspect. PL OK.
Thanks, Todd

You best read some other role first before you jump all the way to the Stern Vicaress....
Thanks, Todd

Todd, how much would it take to get you to swap around the flirty chick and the stern vicaress parts in the final plays?
Cheers,
