A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart
music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

'Slave-in-chief! I wonder how many slaves-in-chief have a master in the tub, a house full of courtesans and a virgin on the roof'

A day in the life of Pseudolus – a liar, a blackmailer, and a slave who'll stop at nothing to win his freedom. A brazen marriage of American burlesque to Plautus, the high priest of low comedy.

'A show that has strong claims to being the funniest musical ever written' Guardian
