Now we’re up to Act III (the final act) of Casina. Last time, in our play:
Olympio drew the lot that said he gets to marry Casina! Everyone went to prepare the wedding feast! But then Chalinus discovered that (gasp) it’s actually all a ploy by Lysidamus to have sex with Casina! So he ran off to tell Cleostrata about it!
The first two acts are really there to build up to the comedy of the third act, so this is going to take a while. There are also some missing bits of the manuscript (mostly near the end), which will on occasion make the wacky sex jokes look even dirtier than they actually are. But for now, we pick up with Lysidamus and his friend Alcesimus, whose wife we saw with Cleostrata earlier...
