"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"
In May, for the last show of the season, MHS Theatre treated audiences to the classic comedy, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." Written by Stephen Sondheim and Larry Gelbart, the play steals its plot from the ancient Roman writings of Plautus. His stories give us the requisite wiley servants, saucy courtesans and bumbling old men. "Forum" brings the promised "comedy" and "tragedy" to the audience. To the company it brings the opportunity to be part of an enduring piece of American theatre. |
