A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum poster

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a riotous romp through ancient Rome, full of outrageous antics and mistaken identities.

The fast-talking slave Pseudolus will stop at nothing to win his freedom, concocting wild schemes to unite his love-struck master, Hero, with the courtesan Philia. From cross-dressing chaos to near-miss marriages, nothing goes to plan – until everything turns out right.
