Shakespeare and Plautus
The Roman theatre at Ephesus, setting for Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Photograph Peter Smith. Many characters from classical comedy are memorable: the miles gloriosus, or braggart soldier, on whom (in part) the character of Falstaff is based; the senex* ("old man"), an elderly parent who uses his authority or the law to thwart the young lovers; Egeus has this role in A Midsummer Night's Dream One of Shakespeare's earliest comedies is based closely upon two Latin originals. The Comedy of Errors takes the plots of two plays by Plautus: the Menaechmi, a play about long separated twins who are mistaken for each other and are eventually reunited; and the Amphitruo, where masters and servants become confused. Shakespeare combined the two plots, and added twin servants to the twin masters to complicate things further. Click to see the original Roman Theatre at Ephesus , where The Comedy of Errors is set.
A speculation
In The Comedy of Errors, it is as if Shakespeare were determined to prove that he could write a play with a doubly complicated Plautine plot, fully obeying the three unities. Having shown that he could do so, no one would be able to say that he wrote plays which did not follow the disciplined structure simply because he did not know how. The drama: Classical Drama.

    Social Documents from the Age of Plautus I have entered here some short selections of material which pertains to the general area of Social History, the documentation of the lives and thoughts of the ordinary people who comprised the core of society, then as now. So little is known about the "populus minutus" of Rome, which was overrun by notion of high classicicism a la Grecque, that it is important to take a close look at the data from Plautus' early plays and on the other end of the spectrum, Petronius' Cena from two centuries later. Beyond these we have little to show how the common Roman mind worked, what it felt and thought and how it differs from the world in which we live. Here are three sections from the Rudens, which I have always considered one of Plautus' finest and also most perceptive plays. The first is concerned with the Sicilian fisherman Gripus' hard life, his lack of income and even lack of a decent dinner after a day's work. The second is also from Gripus, who has just pulled up the chest from the sea in which he expect to find fortune, fame and a new lifestyle. The third concerns swallows nesting under your roof as a good omen, which I would like to amplify with a parallel story from Korean folklore.

    http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/LatinAuthors/RomanComedy.html
    ROMAN COMEDY: Plautus and Terence
    The Greek world came to fruition sometime in the 7 th c. BC, and was still culturally active throughout the period in which the Roman Empire flourished. By 300 BC Greek culture had subtly shifted over to what would later be called Hellenistic, which refers to the transplanting of Greek ideas and techniques to all parts of the then known world, both East and West. The Jews of Palestine, the populace of Egypt, the Syrians , Armenians and the Romans in their turn were exposed to the indelible influence of Greek thought, just as the Arabs of the 7 c. AD were to be influenced in the same way. It was this fermentative quality in the Greek mind which proved so attractive to less cultivated peoples, and although everybody benefitted, nobody was ever the same again. By 300 BC the Romans began to seriously sense the presence of Greek literature. Centuries earlier they had received an altered Greek alphabet from the Etruscans in central Italy, now they became basically literate and ready to read. Much of the writing which resulted from this first Hellenizing influx was lost, and the little we know of writers like Accius, Pacuvius, Caecilius and Lucilius comes from the quotations of words, single lines, and only occasionally coherent paragraphs by the late Roman grammarians. We would have a similar idea of the work of Shakespeare if we assembled all the single-line quotations from a large English dictionary. The texts we have were touched up at least in orthography in the time of Cicero, and were used as required reading in the Roman school system for centuries. Plautus' vocabulary is huge, he uses strange and rare expressions, when pressed invents his own punning coinages, and shows an interesting side of the Roman character which disappears in the more self-conscious Augustan Age.

    The Theater of Plautus
    Playing to the Audience By Timothy J. Moore "I consider this the best full-length discussion of Plautine metatheater in existence. . . . The author talks lucidly about Plautus in terms that the modern student of dramatic literature can grasp, even without knowledge of Plautus. . . . In short, this is a major contribution to theory about Roman drama and to an understanding of Plautus." -William S. Anderson, Professor of Latin, University of California, Berkeley The relationship between actors and spectators has been of perennial interest to playwrights. The Roman playwright Plautus (ca. 200 BCE) was particularly adept at manipulating this relationship. Plautus allowed his actors to acknowledge freely the illusion in which they were taking part, to elicit laughter through humorous asides and monologues, and simultaneously to flatter and tease the spectators. These metatheatrical techniques are the focus of Timothy J. Moore's innovative study of the comedies of Plautus. The first part of the book examines Plautus' techniques in detail, while the second part explores how he used them in the plays

    The Language of Plautus's Parasites
    Robert Maltby, University of Leeds, U.K.
    The parasite, or flatterer, has a long tradition in Graeco-Roman comedy, going back ultimately to Epicharmus. All parasites, both Greek and Roman, share in varying degrees certain comic characteristics - impudence, wit and, especially in the Roman variety, a keen interest in food. In Greek New Comedy their role often overlaps with that of the professional flatterer or Certain Roman parasites, such as Artotrogus in Miles Gloriosus , Cleomachus' parasite in Bacchides and Gnatho in Terence's Eunuchus, are closely related to this Greek tradition. Others, like Plautus's Curculio and Terence's Phormio, play a leading role in the plot, which resembles that of a servus callidus , such as Epidicus or Pseudolus. Forming a third, perhaps more interesting, group of Plautine parasites are four who appear to have had their roles enlarged and enriched by the addition of elements from the real-life tradition of the professional jester. These are Peniculus (in Menaechmi ), Ergasilus (in

    Titus Maccius Plautus (ca. 250 bis 184 vor Christus)
    Seine Stücke wurden wegweisend für das Lustspiel der europäischen Völker. Der berühmte römische Komödiendichter wurde etwa 250 vor Christus im umbrischen Sarsina geboren und starb um 184 vor Christus in Rom. Sein Beiname "Maccius" geht auf das lateinische "maccus" zurück, womit der "Dummkopf" gemeint ist, eine Figur der damaligen Posse. Plautus hat sich den Beinamen wohl scherzhaft zu eigen gemacht, doch ansonsten ist über sein Leben nichts genaues bekannt. Anders sieht es mit seinem Werk aus: 21 der angeblich 130 Schauspiele sind überliefert. In einer Anlehnung an griechische Vorbilder schuf er bühnenwirksame, temperamentvolle Lustspiele, so "Amphitryon", "Aulularia" und "Truculentus", die in lebendiger Umgangssprache das römische Alltagsleben karikieren. Dabei spart der Dichter nicht mit Metaphern aus allen Bereichen des menschlichen Lebens.
