2018 Plautus' Pseudolus
A worthy but impecunious young man has met the girl of his dreams. There's just one hitch - she's a courtesan, and she's about to be sold to a rich soldier from abroad. Can a wily, witty, fast-taking servant find a way to bring this farce to a happy ending? The Roman writer Plautus's 2,000-year-old comedy gets a 1930s makeover in this adaptation of a classical romp.听
Directed by Celia Taylor
Translation by Celia Taylor and Manuela Galindo-Carvajal
