The famous musical farce set in Ancient Rome. Pseudolus, a slave to a Roman family, schemes to become free and his young master, Hero, promises freedom if Pseudolus can obtain a beautiful girl, Philia, whom Hero has seen from his bedroom window. Delightfully unsavoury characters, a befuddled father with a shrewish wife, neighbours, strangers and the Roman army are all drawn into the confusion as this mounting side-splitting comedy unwinds.
