written by Tim Cusack & Jason Jacobs, adapted by the company

Synopsis:
This is a free adaptation of the BBC miniseries I, Claudius, created by Theatre Askew. It relates the sexual intrigues and imperial ambitions of the Julio-Claudian family in 1st century Rome (the emperors of Rome Augustus Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius). The company provides this disclaimer: "This is a work of historical fiction. Any resemblance to current events involving nepotism, cronyism, corruption, religious fanaticism, aggressive foreign policy, widening class divisions, sex scandals, and the dynastic ambitions of certain American families is purely coincidental. The presenters of this theatrical entertainment assume no responsibility for any parallels you may draw between imperial Rome and our time."
