Description

Stephen Sondheim’s hilarious musical romp tells the bawdy story of a slave and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door. Inspired by the farces of ancient Roman playwright Plautus, this is a fresh and exciting production from Zenith Youth Theatre, Bath’s premiere award-winning youth theatre company.
