Production Synopsis

A side-splitting comedy romp, lovingly ripped off from the Roman comedies of Plautus by Phil Porter (The Christmas Truce, 2014; A Mad World My Masters, 2013). Vice Versa premiered on the Swan stage in 2017.

A wily servant and a pair of wronged young lovers team up to bamboozle a pompous general in this riotous farce. Dodgy disguises, comic capers and a monkey create pandemonium as the tricksters try to save the girl, free the servant and live to tell the tale!
