About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Bacchides: or, The Twin Sisters by Titus Maccius Plautus. (Translated by Henry Thomas Riley.) Read in English by a full cast. Twin sisters, separated at birth to different lands. Later, Mnesilochus falls in love with one of them, only to see his friend Pistoclerus apparently with her. Great complications abound. Eventually all is explained and everyone joins together to carouse. (Parts of Act 1 are fragmentary, but it is easy to piece together what we all miss there so we can enjoy the rest.) - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Silenus, the Divinity, who speaks the Prologue: ToddHW Nicobulus, an aged citizen of Athens: Adrian Stephens Mnesilochus, his son: Greg Giordano Philoxenus, another aged citizen of Athens: Alan Mapstone Pistoclerus, his son: Mike Manolakes Lydus, servant of Philoxenus, and tutor of Pistoclerus: VocalPenguin Chrysalus, servant of Nicobulus: Jim Locke Cleomachus, a Captain of Samos: Rob Marland A Parasite of Cleomachus: ToddHW Servant of Pistoclerus: Alan Mapstone First Bacchis, twin-sister, Courtesan: Availle Second Bacchis, twin sister, Courtesan: Sonia Stage Directions: Tchaikovsky Editing: ToddHW
