This musical, a scintillating masterpiece, combines situations from comedies of ancient Roman theatre with the energy and hijinks of American vaudeville. Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful, naive courtesan named Philia for his master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. This version takes place one fateful evening at the Edinburgh Fringe on Grassmarket Street where entertainers tell the passers-by an ancient story that twists and turns in hilarious shenanigans. The entertainers mesmerize the crowd acting out the story. Tragedy tomorrow. Comedy tonight!
