We opened the show A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum last weekend. This is one FUNNY FUNNY SHOW!!! It is the story of Hero,and Philia, who are in love and Pseudolus who is trying to win his freedom from Slavery. His Boss, Hysterium works for the House of Senex
the House of Senex
And Hero is the son of Senex. (He is also the Guy who QUIT on Saturday with 10 more shows to do,) Senex and his Wife Domina are bickering and have been for 26 years.
the House of Lycus
Philia lives here in the House Of Lycus, a house of ill-repute. Philia is a virgin, who has fallen in love with Hero, by looking at him from her balcony. She has also been sold to
erronius family
Miles Gloriosus, a Capt in the Roman Legion, who in reality it turns out is the long lost son of Erronius, and was stolen along with his twin sister, by pirates when they were babies. Guess who the twin sister is...
a maid
This is the four men doing the funniest routine in the show!! A MAID! When Senex returns to Rome from a visit to the country, he finds Philia in his house, and she thinks HE is the Capt who bought her, and she wants him to TAKE HER, and he WANTS TO BADLY! However Pseudolus convinces him that she is a new maid, and the four of them are just Hysterical with anticipation of Senex getting a little on the side.
the staff
Here is the illustrious staff. Even at 6'1" tall, I still look really fat, and old!! They stick me in the back even sitting on the steps!!
Ya gotta go see this show if it ever comes near you. You will hold your sides laughing!!
