Synopsis: | You are invited to a fun-packed evening of lust, greed and murder. Welcome to the Caesars! And a Roman feast of power, politics and intrigue. The creators of Troy and Monarchy complete their trilogy of historical musicals with a wildly inaccurate romp through the Roman Empire. The Events of decades are condensed into the space of just one evening, when Julius Caesar hosts a dinner party that is interrupted by the arrival of the infamous and exotic Cleopatra. | |||||
