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.

Industry Reviews

The observation and lyricism delight and resonate * Time Out *
A comic delight ... Callow comes on like a foul-tempered and thoroughly vicious Woody Allen * The Times *
Richard Quick has adapted the vitriolic satires of the Roman ranter Juvenal into something resembling a night-club tirade by a reactionary comedian. * The Times *
The uncanny parallels between decadent Rome and today flash, and the observation and lyricism delight and resonate. * Time Out *
We emerge dazzled by the poet's almost pathological sexual anger and disgust and affected by Mr Callow's beautiful expose of it. * Guardian *
