The TY Classical Studies class performed their comic play Plausibilia in the BSR last Thursday night. Written by Mr McCarthy in the Roman comic style it featured a motley collection of stock comic characters - a lovesick young man, a maiden in distress, a muscular soldier and a clever slave who saves the day. Hurrah! Much hilarity and mirth ensued as love contended with lust, money mixed with mania and brains battled brawn.

But enough of this alliteration. The players:
Ugo Onwurah wept as Lacrimus, Harry Jonhson was cynical as Contemptuous, Ifueko Bello-Asemota stunned as Bustia, Molly Dunne strutted as Madame Poxia, Julianna Huggard was fragrant as Aroma Nastia, Tara McCormick was miserly as Avaricia, Sebastian Hillert leered as Lecherus, Lilian Glennon was indignant as Virtua, Anna v Schintling posed as Biggus Laddus. The heroine of the piece was Helene Peters, as Plausibilia, the clever, plausible slave. As she said at one stage, she has saved Lacrimus' bacon so many times she should slice it off and have it for her supper!
Music was arranged by Dearbhala Gernon and the play also featured an appearance from our three ornamental shrubs. These provided cover for eavesdropping and asides, a particularly Roman comic feature.
