Gladiators In Love

Gladiators In Love
Written by Mark Leonard
Music by Tom Masinter
Directed by Tim Hedgepeth

Gladiators in Love by Masinter and Leonard is a farcical musical parody of the movies Spartacus and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with a lot of the old fifties Steve Reeves Hercules movies and Brokeback Mountain thrown in. It has characters based on Greek gods and goddesses, Roman courtesans, Daisy Duke, the Marx Brothers, Donald Trump and Dom DeLuise with a speech written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

No sacred cow is left un-barbecued. No morality code left untrampled. No pompous propped up political position left standing. The singers and actors are among the best San Antonio theater has to offer. The writers are local award-winning legends who really should be ashamed of themselves, but they are not. In short, the show is perfect for The Overtime Theater audience or...anyone else who has the lowest taste in entertainment and the highest sense of humor!

NOTE: Not for the prudish or easily offended.
This show is a semi-staged reading with music.
