About

It’s Ancient Rome like you’ve never seen it before; filthy, frantic, and full of farce.

When the devious Emperor Caligula hatches a plan to take over Egypt (and wed Cleopatra in the process), chaos erupts across the empire. But Cleo’s not about to let her asp get handed over without a fight. With Mark Antony and Julius Caesar both hopelessly in love with her (and with themselves), it’s up to bumbling waiter Felix Flavius and booze-soaked Dame Chianti Divino to try and save the day.

Expect plot twists, bad accents, surprise parentage, singalong chaos and a snaky little sidekick with a taste for drama. There’s murder, mayhem and plenty of sauce as the fate of Rome teeters in the hands of the least qualified heroes imaginable.

This is an adult panto with no apologies – loud, lewd, and absolutely stuffed with gags. If you like your theatre big, bold and dripping in innuendo, don’t miss this one-night-only descent into ancient madness.

One night. All filth. No filter.
