Oh Pseudolus!

Oh Pseudolus!

About This Event

Oh Pseudolus! is a delightful retelling of Plautus’ classic comedy with a contemporary twist. The setting is a humorous take on modern-day Athens where Pseudolus works at the world’s largest Halloumi company. It promises witty repartee and clever wordplay, making it worth catching live.

This is a modern retelling of the classic Roman Comedy “Pseudolus” by Plautus. In this version, we find the titular Pseudolus working at the world’s largest Halloumi company, in modern-day Athens. She is an executive assistant for the CEO’s son, Calidorous. Calidorous has finally gotten himself the girl of his dreams, the beautiful Phoenecium. Still, disaster strikes when the vile pimp Ballio tries to sell her into sex slavery, attempting to ship her off to some unnamed oil-rich country. Calidorous is too heartbroken to sign Pseudolus’ end-of-year bonus check. It becomes up to her to figure out a way to rescue Phoenecium in order to make him smile. That way, he can finally sign her hard-earned check. Talk about late-stage capitalism! This is a laugh-out-loud comedy, full of hijinks, tricks, love, lies, and schemes; not to mention a slice of Halloumi or two along the way. It’s just as much of a hilarious romp as it was two thousand years ago! This is “Oh NO’s” way of saying: Leave the kids at home, and no, you don’t need to come wearing a toga. "Oh Pseudolus!" Features an all-star cast: All of this mayhem can only come from the writer-director team (Conor Bifulco and Dalton Scott) behind "Oh Hillary!," the only comedy about the Clintons, at last year's Edinburgh Fringe. This is a hilarious story that remains just as funny today as it was 2000 years ago, made even funnier with Conor's modernizations. "Oh Pseudolus!" maintains the soul of the original play while still distinctly being an "Oh No Productions" joint, highlighting their go-go-go comedic sensibilities.
