Sic Notus Ulixes? by Nicholas Richards |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 5. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 7. Minimum total without doubling = 7. No chorus.

Run Time | Around 15 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | Humorous Homeric epic in a fifteen minute play aimed at beginners' classes in Latin! |
Synopsis | Three scenes from the story of Ulysses' homecoming translated from the original Greek (*) and thoroughly mangled and distorted for dramatic presentation. Narrated by the original poet himself. * Whilst the above summary notes the translation from Greek, it does not note what it is translated into. In this case, it's Latin (which itself is translated - or at least clarified - into English by the narrator). |
