laughter. Forum combines the ancient comedies of Plautus with a vaudevillian
delivery. A bawdy slave named Pseudolus schemes to win his own freedom, by
winning the heart of the beautiful virgin, Phelia, for his young master, Hero.
Chaos ensues with hair-brained schemes, cases of mistaken identity, slamming
doors and convoluted plot twists. With one of the most famous title songs in
history Forum promises “something for everyone: a comedy tonight!”<span></span></span></p>
