Mostellaria by Titus Maccius Plautus
Plautus is the vaudevillian of Roman Comedy. Pratfalls, puns, double entendres, gag men, and the victorious downtrodden, i.e.,slaves who save the day, all make up the texture of Plautine comedies. Here a spendthrift son, a good hearted prostitute, and a supposedly haunted house generate the non stop action. (Summary by Malone)
