Details

Ivan returns from a trip to the seaside to find his home torn apart. Builders have unearthed a lost treasure beneath his floorboards: an ornate bath dating back to Roman times. As the excavation destroys his flat, professors, businessman with dodgy Swiss connections, local councillors, reporters and even the national union of lifeguards set up camp. Everyone wants to claim the discovery - while all Ivan wants is some peace. A ferociously paced satire about where the little man stands, and sleeps, The Roman Bath sees the first UK production of the work of Bulgaria’s great comic writer Stanislev Stratiev. Running time: 1hr 55mins
