A new translation of The Casket (or Cistellaria) by Plautus. A young man is in love with an 'unsuitable' young woman - a courtesan. His father disapproves and has in mind a much more suitable (ie. lucrative) match. The play allows the audience to consider and interpret the Roman world of the citizen, the slave and the courtesan. First produced in 202BC, some of the original text has been lost, but this translation completes the gaps to produce a rounded play.
