Abstract
What follows is an account of the production of Menander’s The Woman from Samos directed with a professional company at the J Paul Getty Museum in Malibu in the autumn of 1994. The play was part of a doublebill, the second half of which was Plautus’ Casina. As translator of the Menander I served as dramaturg to the production while Richard Beacham undertook the same function for the Plautus.
