Set around two hundred years before the Christian era in a street in Rome in front of the houses of Erronius, Senex and Lycus. This musical comedy is centres around Pseudolus, a slave who will do almost anything to gain his freedom. When Pseudolus is left in charge of his owner's young son Hero who has fallen madly in love with a beautiful courtesan from next door, the fun begins. The young boy promises Pseudolus his freedom if he can arrange a marriage before his father returns. Pseudolus, of course, agrees. But not even the conniving slave can foresee the tangled web that he is about to weave.
