This riotous musical, inspired by the farces of ancient Rome, tells the story of Pseudolus, a slave who attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door.
The plot displays many classic elements of farce, including puns, cases of mistaken identity (frequently involving characters disguising themselves as one another), and satirical comments on social class. “Tragedy tomorrow. A comedy tonight!”
