Fulgens and Lucrece

About the show

In ancient Rome, Senator Fulgens’s daughter Lucrece must choose between the wealthy patrician Publius Cornelius and the modest commoner Gaius Flaminius, each of whom argues his worthiness. She chooses Gaius, whose honest love outweighs his lack of lineage. In a comic subplot, servants A and B discuss the expected play, break the fourth wall and pursue Joan, while their jokes question class and lordship.
