Nero Show, The

Synopsis:
Welcome to the world of beautiful people, fabulous frocks, soaring melodies, exciting rhythms, a live band, wicked lyrics and that inimitable mix of history, ingenuity and pizzaz that is a Jenden/Farr production! It is 1963, and a live TV show is about to be broadcast from Nero's mansion, hosted by Seneca, that well known philosopher, TV personality and talk-show host. Rome's most infamous emperor has been dropped squarely into the life and times of the glamorous 1960s and the story of his rise and fall begins to look all too familiar& JF Kennedy and Jackie? Marilyn Monroe? Combining Roman excess with '60s cool the NeRO Show is a totally modern take on this ageless story of preening politicians, upstaging wives, inconvenient mistresses and explosive enemies.
