THE ROMAN INVASION OF RAMSBOTTOM

Aged 10 to 16 and enjoy acting and singing? Come and audition.

The musical is a crazy comedy set in Roman occupied Britain in 84AD when the country was ruled by GAIUS JULIUS AGRICOLA who, as history relates, was a huge admirer of the country Britannia, and was much loved by the people. As is popularly acknowledged, the Romans were famously brilliant at building roads and the show is centred around the ceremonial opening of the fine new chariotway, the C VI, which Agricola has just (very nearly) completed linking Rome with Carlisle.

The story, featuring lots of lovely songs but with a plot far too silly to outline here, concerns complications which arise when the Minister of Transport, Conkus Maximus by name, arrives from Rome to snip the ribbon and open the road. The hilarious list of characters who are mixed up in the fun includes a troupe of Lancastrian clog-dancers, two evil Roman tribunes called Parsimonius and Acrimonius, a massive bull - dozer, (Taurus - Soporens), the wonderfully varied and characterful inmates of a local pub called The Roman's Return led by local comedian Accrington Stanley - and many kilos of slippery Lancastrian tripe. 

Commissioned from David Nield and Jeremy James Taylor by Granada Television, the musical won high praise from the critics when broadcast and a coveted Scotsman Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Festival.

Come and audition for a chance to enjoy the fun and games. www.thamesmt.org

We promise you a good time!
