The scheming slave Pseudolus struggles to win the heart of a virgin courtesan for his young master in return for his freedom. Unfortunately the gods are not on his side. Pseudolus is up against a lecherous father, an attempted abduction, an imaginary plague, mistaken identities, a short-sighted neighbour, a sleeping potion... and a corpse in drag. Confused?

Written by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, the creator of Tootsie and the TV show M*A*S*H, this classic featured Frankie Howerd in the lead role when it opened in London. Sondheim’s show-stopping score (including "Comedy Tonight" and "Everybody Ought to have a Maid") gives the audience a break from the frenetic plotting of this legendary musical comedy.

From curtain up, in a wonderful setting of a roman street, this zany farce is one of the funniest shows you'll ever see: a mishmash of major mischief, mishaps, mistaken identities, misunderstandings, misconduct and mayhem! Tragedy tomorrow — comedy tonight!
