Details

Vice Versa (or the Decline and Fall of General Braggadocio at the Hands of his Canny Servant Dexter and Terence the Monkey) is inspired by Plautus' comedies. 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 talking monkey create pandemonium as the tricksters try to save the girl, free the servant and live to tell the tale!
