Based on the original characters created by Talbot Rothwell and Sid Collins for the Frankie Howerd BBC comedy, this hilarious romp through ancient Pompeii brings back all the television favourites in this full length play. As Lurcio attempts to deliver his prologue and begin proceedings, he is quickly caught up in a myriad of liaisons in all quarters of his master’s house.
Whilst growing chaos ensues, an increasing rumbling is heard in the distance – what could that be?
A riot from start to finish.
