Reviews
The Terence Project represents a major advance in the study of Roman comedy... The video creates an opportunity to deal with Terence on the level of performance that is new and different and potentially quite significant... There is nothing quite comparable... to stimulate intelligent classroom discussion. -- Sander Goldberg, UCLA
