THE ROPE
By Plautus: Adapted for Scriptsandsketches.com
Duologue
Characters: LABRAX & GRUPUS
Titus Maccius Plautus (254 BC to 184 BC) adapted Greek comedies for the amusement of Roman audiences and his work is the earliest surviving Latin literature we possess.
The only daughter of Daemones was kidnapped when she was young and sold to the slave dealer LABRAX . A young man, named Plesidippus, falls in love with her and gives LABRAX a down payment . The untrustworthy slave dealer is convinced that the young woman could be sold for more money in Sicily and steals away in the night. A storm wrecks the ship and washes away the slave dealer’s treasure trunk, which not only contains money but objects that identify Palaestra as Daemones’ daughter. GRIPUS, the slave of Daemones, fishes up the trunk and, in this scene, bargains with LABRAX over the trunk’s return.
