When in Rome

Recommended by

  • Dawn Branch: When in Rome

    If you're a fan of the classics, this is the play for you. A fun, farcical look at relationships, power, and society with references to add to the wit. Just be sure to keep your Greek and Romans gods straight.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: When in Rome

    A fabulously fast farce from Ancient Rome with many relevant anachronistic and even anarchic references that are really raucously funny and so a propo. I especially loved the dig at the Times. Keep that fake news coming! (I read this because I had to understand the history to read the collaboration between Norkin and Busser, and I am so glad I did. No pies were tossed while writing this rec.)

  • James Perry: When in Rome

    A humorous take on authority, infidelity, and public spectacle. This fast-paced comedy effectively satirizes both ancient Roman culture and modern societal norms.
