First English translation of, and detailed commentary on the fragments of Laberius, who composed mimes, a form of scripted comic drama that was political, satirical, and amusingly obscene. It was very popular in the first century BC and in late antiquity, and shaped medieval theatre and the Italian commedia dell'arte.
