In the bustling Roman marketplace, two prisoners of war share a cruel twist of fate. Philocrates, a freeborn man, is mistaken for a slave. Meanwhile, Tyndarus, a cunning slave, longs for freedom. Enter Ergasilus, a witty parasite with a nose for a scheme. Can he orchestrate a hilarious escape for the wrong man? Will Philocrates reclaim his birthright? And what lengths will Tyndarus go to in "The Captives," a comedic masterpiece by the legendary playwright Plautus? Lend an ear and prepare to be swept away by a whirlwind of mistaken identity, clever tricks, and laughter that echoes through the ages.
