Some things are funny even after years β and this play is one of them. Forum is a bawdy show filled with laughs of all kinds, from slapstick to puns to innuendo to farce.
Rob King as Pseudolus, the slave who longs to be free, lights up the stage with his manic plotting and counter-plotting. The family lives next door to a house of ill repute run by Marcus Lycus John Roberts , and Hero soon falls in love with the virgin courtesan, Philia Kimberly Case , who β unfortunately β has recently been sold to a macho Roman captain, Miles Gloriousus Logan Bydalek.
Did I mention that the other house next door is owned by Erronius Terry W. Lemmon , who left home years ago to search for his children who were kidnapped by pirates? The Proteans, too, are very funny. The production never falls down, though. It breezes from one comic moment to the next, pausing only long enough to burst into song.
The director, Pamela Schroeder, must have had a great time putting the players through their paces in the climactic chase scene. Watch for an amazing quick change by the Proteans. Will the happy ending promised in the opening number work out as planned?
