This play almost feels cliched but then you must remember it is 4th Century B.C. and its plot and characters have been ripped off for over 2,500 years!

Great comedy! Lost the plot a little by the end but all round a banger

Read mainly as a prerequisite for Moliere's Le Misanthrope.

No expectations. No disappointment.
I've become accustomed to classical Greek works.

55/100.

Tiro un poquito alto con las estrellas. Es una obra incompleta de Menandro. Las traducciones no están del todo fijadas y faltan bastantes versos, pero, oye, está entretenida para echar una media horita. Seguro que fue cómica para la época, aunque a mí no me ha hecho reír mucho (a pesar de las situaciones un poco esperpéntica).
