The Fall of the Roman Republic... on a shoestring budget.

It was silly, fun, chaotic, and no one missed a beat!... full review

Epic! What a funny little comedy, very good acting and story!... full review

Very much enjoyed it. Fast, dense, informative, funny, a lot going on. I love the classics, and reinterpreting them and modernizing them to be palatable to modern audiences in a casual setting is something I can get behind. A big ambitious project done well.... full review

It was a lot of fun! Loved the parallels. ... full review

A fast-paced, jury-rigged fun time! The Fall of the Roman Republic falls squarely into a sketch comedy style whose grounding classic story provides endless fodder for humorous reinterpretation. Supported by a large ensemble, each cast member gets their fifteen minutes of fame by the end with some particularly charismatic performances from Clodius, Pompey, and Titus, among others. Character trait decisions really bolster the performances and create amusing moments like Titus' secret attraction to Caesar, Octavian's childlike snobbiness, and Cleopatra's Dominican persuasion.

I mid-June 1963 I was at the NYC premiere of CLEOPATRA, which cost $40-milllion, ran 243 minutes, and ended @ 100AM! I could never have imagined that 63 years LATER, almost exactly to the day(!), I'd watch a dozen youngsters ("20-30") race and shout their way through the entire same story in 97 minutes in a WeHo garage, and it would SEEM longer! For today's audience, NOT familiar with this Roman/Egyptian saga and its many, many now-obscure characters, it must all seem like a lot of "...Sound and Fury, Signifying....???" ... full review

A very ambitious topic covered in the funniest, silliest most chaotic way possible. This would've been an excellent SNL skit. At 1:30 it's hard to keep up all those jokes going and going, but this cast found a way to make so much complicated history compelling and entertaining. ... full review
