Act 2! The two slaves have moved off-screen, and now Cleostrata enters, with her handmaiden Pardalisca, to do a little song and dance number to her neighbor about how much her husband sucks. One of the ways you can tell this is a Roman adaptation of Greek comedy, and not just a direct translation of Greek comedy, is that a free citizen woman is wandering around on the street.
