The Satyricon
Step back into the past while keeping one foot in the present in this outrageous 2000-year-old comedy coming to the Assembly Roxy in October!
About The Satyricon
Encolpius, Ascyltos and Giton are three penniless young men footloose in the Roman Empire. With long-dead narrator Gaius Petronius as their guide and a cantankerous group of twenty-first century Actors who bring to life everyone they encounter, the trio find themselves at the heart of adventures of seduction, deception, love, thievery, violence and more.
Step back into the past while keeping one foot in the present as you enter this comedy of words and action. Be prepared for a picaresque tale that is funny and thought-provoking, uncomfortable and tragic, satiric and satyric. View sexual relations from the Roman perspective - and view the Roman perspective from today. Remind yourself that actors have a life beyond the stage - and that some lives never end. All this and more in the fast and funny, filthy and philosophical play that is The Satyricon.
