Abstract Scenes from Terence's Phormio are juxtaposed with scenes from Molière's Scapin's prank to show Terence's influence on later playwrights and to show how each play reflects the society in which it was written. Demonstrates the use of authentic oversized masks, exaggerated gestures and vocal techniques that were part of this ancient form of theater.
