The Boys From Syracuse
George Abbott
Brothers Menaechmus
by Plautus, Erich Segal
Synopsis
A married gentleman named Menaechmus arranged to have a feast at the home of his dazzling mistress Erotium.
While preparations are in progress, he strolls off to the forum.
Suddenly, his long-lost twin brother - also named Menaechmus - arrives.
After a crescendo of comic confusions, identities are finally unscrambled, and the brothers are reunited.
The play inspired Shakespeare's Comedy of Errores , which in turn inspired Rodgers and Hart's Boys from Syracuse
