No other playwright has had as profound an influence on the history of comedy as Titus Maccius Plautus (254 B.C.–184 B.C.).  Pseudolus, the longest of the Plautine plays, was first presented in 191 B.C. and has delighted audiences for centuries focusing on the machinations of a crafty servant who helps his young master win his lady love from the clutches of the wicked pimp Ballio.  The rich characterizations and absurd situations are typical of Roman comedy at its zenith.
