  abstract: Lively and critically aware, T. H. M. Gellar-Goad's A Commentary on Plautus' Curculio is the new reference text on the play. Curculio follows the efforts of the title character to trick a sex-trafficker into handing over an enslaved woman to the young man infatuated with her instead of to the soldier who's paid for her, and will turn out to be her long-lost brother. As Plautus' shortest comedy, Curculio has proven to be a desirable text for university performances. The play exemplifies Plautus' style, with a blend of erotic, deception and recognition plotlines, plus a wide range of archetypal characters. Gellar-Goad's commentary is the complete package, with introductions to themes, content, humor, meter and syntax, notes on matters of performance, interpretation and social history and a text with aids to scansion and clarifying stage directions. This up-to-date, authoritative commentary on the play will prove useful to directors and actors and will readily introduce students to the joys of Roman comedy.
