Encolpius, Ascyltos and Giton are three young men footloose in the Roman Empire. With long-dead Petronius commenting on their story and a cantankerous group of twenty-first century Actors bringing to life everyone they meet, the trio find themselves at the heart of adventures of seduction, deception, love, thievery, violence and more.

Step back into the past while keeping one foot in the present in this picaresque tale. View sexual relations from the Roman perspective – and view the Roman perspective from today. All this and more in the fast and funny, filthy and philosophical play The Satyricon.
