With clever plot twists, fast-paced dialogue and great opportunities for physical humor, you’ve never seen Rome like this before!  While the emperor is away at war with almost all the senators and other men of the city, playful peasant thieves ransack the market place, the annoying senators’ wives invent silly promotions to raise war-time funds and the princess searches in vain for a husband.  If she can’t find a suitable match, her father has decreed she must marry the last gladiator standing in the upcoming games.  That’s the last thing this headstrong, intelligent feminist leader wants!  To make matters worse, top-ranking (and draft dodging!)  Senator Altilis is breathing down her neck to choose him as the one lucky senator to control affairs at the home front.  If it weren’t for the princess, Altilis could decree himself that privileged senator.  He deviously schemes to get her out of the empire’s affairs by moving the day of the gladiator games up, thus burdening the princess with planning her dreaded wedding.  Meanwhile, peasant thieves Gladis, Minimus (his friends call him Mini), and Julia sneak into the royal palace disguised as handmaidens.  They are promptly caught in a hilarious scene, almost becoming lion food until the princess gets an idea.  If she trains the muscled Gladis to compete in the games, she can avoid marrying Brudis, the brainless brute favored to win.  A hysterical scene follows when Mini and Julia’s plan to rig the games to save Gladis’s life blows up in their faces!  Find out who is left standing (and who is sent packing!)  in this side-splitting comedy.  You’ll be glad you picked this play!
