2014 Edinburgh Fringe

And now for something completely different - Simon Callow, theatrical treasure extraordinaire, reprises a success from early in his career. The writer, Juvenal born circa 55AD, wrote sixteen satires that attacked the decadence of Rome in its heyday. Here adapted by Richard Quick we are given a view into the moral decline that is as relevant now as it was back then. Directed by Simon Stokes. 'A comic delight ... Callow comes on like a foul-tempered and thoroughly vicious Woody Allen' (Times). 'The observation and lyricism delight and resonate' (Time Out).
