Someone recommended this on one of the Latin teacher groups, and it *sounds* great in theory. And there are good parts to it: eight very short adaptations of things out of Plautus, all but the first actually in senarii, very comprehensible at a Latin 2 level. However. If you're going to all the trouble to adapt some Plautus/make up some Plautine comedy for high school level students, even back in the sixties, wouldn't it have occurred to you that maybe you should consider toning down the misogyny? No? Apparently not. There is not a single playlet in here I would read with my students, because it's just. so. unrelentingly. misogynistic. And yes, that's something you will find in Plautus as well, but honestly, this struck me as even worse than Plautus himself. Unusable, such a shame.
