ROMULUS THE GREAT

Yangtze Repertory Theatre 26th Season MainStage Production

Written by Friedrich Dürrenmatt English Translation by Gerhard Nellhaus Directed by Chongren Fan

Set in a fictional Roman Empire, emperor Romulus the Great chose not to be “great.” Facing the increasing peril of the Germanic invasion and the demise of the Empire, Romulus prefers to stay at home breeding chickens. Is his refusal of responsibility to govern stupidity? Or does he have other plans?
