The first musical Sondheim wrote both music and lyrics for, inspired by the farces of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus.
Story:
Pseudolus, the laziest slave in Rome, has but one wish - to purchase his freedom. When he finds out that the young master has fallen in love with a virgin in the house of Lycus, he concocts a deal whereby he will be freed if he can procure the girl for Hero.
