Vice Versa (or The Decline and Fall of General Braggadocio at the Hands of His Canny Servant Dexter and Terence the Monkey) There were piles of physical fun in this side-splitting 2017 comedy romp, written by Phil Porter and lovingly ripped off from the Roman comedies of Plautus. A side-splitting comedy romp, lovingly ripped off from the Roman comedies of Plautus by Phil Porter (The Christmas Truce, 2014; A Mad World My Masters, 2013). Vice Versa premiered on the Swan stage in 2017. 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 monkey create pandemonium as the tricksters try to save the girl, free the servant and live to tell the tale!
