CAC Home page Adapting The Brothers Menaechmus by Marc Ducusin University of Winnipeg In condensing The Brothers Menaechmus The abridged plot likewise coheres with the thematic duality of the text. Exploiting the visual medium, I have replaced Plautus' spoken prologue with a parody of silent film, using printed title cards with narrative abridged from the text. The epilogue, too, becomes a mini-silent film (with brief voice-over narration by Messenio), thus framing the main action between two corresponding sequences, reinforcing the mirrored or cyclic structure of the original play. One of the greatest liberties I took with the script, namely the added scene with Peniculus winning the Wife at the auction, similarly mirrors the arranged marriage in the prologue: both events are stressed as financial transactions, and both humorously depict the Wife striking back (literally) at the man to whom she is bound. Accordingly, I have retained and manipulated major scenes to emphasise this two-fold structure, with incidents early on in the play echoed, inverted or resolved within the second half: 1) Silent movie prologue 15) Silent movie epilogue 2) Peniculus' introduction 14) Messenio heads the auction 3) Men. I leaves house after arguing with Wife

CAC Home page The Roman Wore Bowling Shoes: Plautine and Terentian Devices and Resulting Reflections of Society in John Hughes' Uncle Buck by Brent R. McFarlane University of Saskatchewan The Roman playwrights Terence and Plautus represent very different schools of comedy: the former is acclaimed for his subtle moral humor and his humanity; the latter, for his command of the ribald and the ridiculous. Both approaches to comedy and moralizing have proved influential; one can see the mark of these ancients even in modern film and theatre. The 1989 film Uncle Buck, one of many popular comedies produced by writer/director John Hughes during the 80s, illustrates the point quite well. Hughes mixes the two forms, showing us farce alongside "serious" moral comedy. In the main character in particular, John Candy's Uncle Buck Russell, Hughes has given us a blend of the Plautine clever slave and the serious moral characters of Terentine comedy; we are given a humanized Pseudolus, an outsider who gleefully inverts the status quo, but must also face ethical decisions. Both Roman playwrights reflect the realities and mores of their times; so, too, by examining the Plautine and Terentian devices used in Uncle Buck

The Brothers Menaechmus T. Maccius Plautus Translated by E.F. Watling Review date: 19/3/1999 Publisher: Penguin Translation: 1965 Of all Plautus' plays, the plot of this one is the best known to English speaking readers, as it is the basis for Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors . The major changes Shakespeare made were to increase the length of the play and the number of characters, making the brothers' servants twins as well as their masters and introducing the idea of the execution of Aegeon. Plautus' play has no such serious side and is much more purely farcical, much play being made over the way one brother steals a dress of his wife's to give it to his mistress (he smuggles it out of the house by wearing it with his own clothes). That really says all there is to say about this play; it is entertaining and funny, but has nothing serious to say. Return to list of reviews by author by submission date

Not with a whimper The Brothers Menaechmus By Plautus Adapted and directed by Joseph Furnari Westside Repertory Theatre 252 West 81st St. Manhattan (874-7290) Non-union production (closes March 21) Review by Julie Halpern Plautus's comedy of mistaken identity, The Menaechmi, has entertained theatregoers throughout the centuries in a variety of incarnations, including Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, Rodgers and Hart's The Boys From Syracuse, and Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum . Joseph Furnari's recent adaptation welcomed Plautus's Menaechmus Brothers into the millennium in the intimate environment of West Side Rep. The two Menaechmus brothers were separated in infancy back home in Syracuse and are unwittingly reunited as adults with predictably hilarious results. Like a favorite old sitcom, which we have seen a dozen times but laugh at all the same things time after time, the twins' exploits are a permanent fixture in the fabric of the theatre. Furnari employs an interesting blend of dramatic elements from Plautus's time (such as the use of multiple doors and windows), commedia dell' arte and 1930s Hollywood screwball comedy. The only thing amiss was breaking up the prologue among several of the actors who kept popping their heads out of windows like the characters on

Roman culture originated out of Etruscan rituals and religion and was influenced greatly by the Greeks. Livy described how Etruscan dance and music were introduced in Rome during a plague in 364 BC to appease the gods. Histrionic gestures were developed into dialogs with plots adapted from Greek tragedies and comedies by a Greek slave named Livius Andronicus by 240 BC. Andronicus translated Homer's Odyssey into Latin, and it was used in schools for generations. Short Oscan plays from Campania using mime called fabula Atellana were based on the characters of the stupid clown Maccus, the bragging glutton Bucco, the foolish old Pappus, and the hunchback trickster Dossennus. In the late third century BC Gnaeus Naevius wrote an epic on the first Punic war , a few tragedies about the Trojan war, and dozens of comedies based on Greek plays as well as one play about Romulus and Remus and one about the victory by consul Marcellus over the Insubrian Gauls in 222 BC; the plays of Naevius were so critical of political figures that he was imprisoned and went into exile. Greek tragedies were also adapted by Quintius Ennius (239-169 BC), Marcus Pacuvius (c. 220-c. 130 BC), and Lucius Accius (170-c. 86 BC), and Greek comedies were translated by the freed Insubrian slave Caecilius Statius (c. 219-c. 166 BC), but these are all lost.

36. Untitled Document Go back to the investigations of the Pythagoreans, Archytas, menaechmus and As menaechmus demonstrates, when the hyperbola and parabola are combined, http://wlym.com/antidummies/part35.html

Riemann For Anti-Dummies Part 35 MIND AS POWER GENERATOR Rene Descartes (1596-1630) was, for all intents and purposes, a Bogomil. The geometry that bears his name, is brainwashing. Anyone exposed to it, unless cured, will suffer from cognitive deficiency. Symptoms include impotence and an inability to distinguish fantasy from reality. Gottfried Leibniz, writing to Molanus, circa 1679, recognized the deleterious effects of Cartesianism, "Cartesians are not capable of discovery; they merely undertake the job of interpreting or commenting upon their master, as the Scholastics did with Aristotle. There have been many beautiful discoveries since Descartes, but, as far as I know, not one of them has come from a true Cartesian.... Descartes himself had a rather limited mind." Descartes' method is impotent. It lacks power. Go back to the investigations of the Pythagoreans, Archytas, Menaechmus and Plato, on the matter of doubling the line, square and cube. These discoveries demonstrated, the relationship between objects and the principles from which they are generated. Each principle possess a characteristic power. The succession of objects line, square and cube are produced by a succession of higher powers (dunamis). These powers are not defined by the objects. The objects are produced by the powers. The powers cannot be known through the senses. The characteristics of the physical powers are, nevertheless, made sensible through their harmony, which only the mind has the power to grasp.

Let a straight line be given to serve as the axis, with a point D on the line to serve as the origin. Construct a parabola with the given axis, with vertex at D , and latus rectum a . This is equivalent to constructing a square on ordinate y equal to the rectangle on the latus rectum with side x . Note that this makes y the geometric mean of the latus rectum and the side x .

Contents next section , Menaechmus' Constructions Conic Sections Before Cones Introduction As is the case with a great deal of interesting mathematics, the conic sections are believed to have been discovered in an attempt to solve a problem, a problem which on the surface seems to have nothing to do with conic sections. The problem is the problem of doubling the cube , one of the three famous problems of antiquity. While we are not certain as to the exact moment of discovery, most authors attribute it to Menaechmus (4th century B.C.) ( pronunciation [8, pp. 251-253] . The evidence for this is based on a work of Eutocius (6th century A.D.) ( pronunciation Commentary on Archimedes’ Sphere and Cylinder . In this work Eutocius describes solutions to the problem of doubling the cube , that is, constructing a cube with twice the volume of a given cube. As we shall now see, this problem is reduced to the problem of finding two mean proportionals between two given lengths. To see this, consider a cube of side a . We wish to construct the lengths x and y (the two mean proportionals ) such that a x x y y a Before we see how did Menaechmus constructed these means proportionals, we must review the meaning of the "latus rectum" of a conic.

40. Grex-plautina: Die Menaechmi Des Plautus menaechmus-Brüder oder Der doppelte menaechmus ) sind eineweitere Der eine der beiden eineiigen Zwillingsbrüder hieß menaechmus, http://www.grex-plautina.de/menaechmi.htm

Die Menaechmi ("Die Menaechmus-Brüder" oder "Der doppelte Menaechmus") sind eine weitere Komödie des Plautus. Zweifelsfrei ist dieses Verwechselungslustpiel ein genialer Höhepunkt im Schaffen der römischen Theaterdichter. Meisterhaft, wie Plautus die Verwechselungsthematik in den Menaechmi bis an ihre allerletzten Möglichkeiten ausreizt und dabei die Lachmuskeln der Zuschauer strapaziert! Das muss sich auch Shakespeare gedacht haben, als er diese plautinische Komödie als Vorlage für ein eigenes Bühnenwerk nahm und von Plautus abkupferte. Menaechmus und seine Frau (1. Aufführung) Ort der Handlung ist nicht Athen, sondern Epidamnos, das heutige Durazzo an der albanischen Adriaküste. Doch ihren Ursprung nimmt die Komödie im sizilianischen Syrakus, das wie Epidamnos eine korinthische Tochterstadt war und daher von Griechen besiedelt wurde. Dort in Syrakus schenkte einst Theusimarche ihrem Gatten Moschus ein Zwillingspaar. Der eine der beiden eineiigen Zwillingsbrüder hieß Menaechmus, der andere Sosicles. Als Menaechmus noch sehr jung war, nahm ihn Vater Moschus mit auf eine Handelsreise. Doch beide kehrten von der langen Schiffreise nicht zurück und galten schließlich als verschollen. Groß war die Trauer im heimatlichen Syrakus! Menaechmus´ Großvater hatte sogar so großen Kummer, dass er dem ihm verbliebenen Enkel Sosicles den Namen Menaechmus verlieh. Der verschollene Menaechmus war nämlich sein Lieblingsenkel gewesen.
