   The Story  

In a desperate attempt to win his freedom, the slave, Pseudulus, attempts to help his young master, Hero, earn the love of a courtesan, Philia. To do win his freedom, Pseudulus has to outsmart Hero's parents, the slave master, Lycus, and the large man who has already paid for Philia, Miles Gloroisus. Into the mix is thrown the old man Erronious who is desperately searching for his lost children.

Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
