Adelphi: or, The Brothers by Terence

About Adelphi: or, The Brothers by Terence

"Micio and Demea are two brothers of dissimilar tempers. Demea is married, and lives a country life, while his brother remains single, and resides in Athens." Things quickly get a bit messy with hushed-up debauchery, kidnapping/elopement/theft of a slave, general carousing, and marriage nuptials - the usual for the day perhaps, except that: "The Play concludes with a serious warning from Demea, who advises his relatives not to squander their means in riotous living; but, on the contrary, to bear admonition and to submit to restraint in a spirit of moderation and thankfulness." - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Demea, Brother, aged Athenian: Max Körlinge (https://librivox.org/reader/6333) Micio, Brother, aged Athenian: Adam Bielka (https://librivox.org/reader/13830) Hegio, an aged Athenian, kinsman of Sostrata: Ethan Hurst (https://librivox.org/reader/13851) Æschinus, son of Demea, adopted by Micio: Tomas Peter (https://librivox.org/reader/10789) Ctesipho, another son of Demea: Shashank Jakhmola (https://librivox.org/reader/13652) Sannio, a Procurer: Son of the Exiles (https://librivox.org/reader/8879) Geta, servant of Sostrata: ToddHW (https://librivox.org/reader/6754) Parmeno, servant of Micio: Devorah Allen (https://librivox.org/reader/11084) Syrus, servant of Micio: alanmapstone (https://librivox.org/reader/7170) Dromo, servant of Micio: Devorah Allen (https://librivox.org/reader/11084) Pamphila, a young woman beloved by Æschinus: Lydia (https://librivox.org/reader/8883) Sostrata, a widow, mother of Pamphila: KHand (https://librivox.org/reader/8677) Canthara, a Nurse: Eva Davis (https://librivox.org/reader/11417) Stage Directions: Sonia (https://librivox.org/reader/10179) Edited: ToddHW (https://librivox.org/reader/6754)
