Synopsis
Romulus And Remus: Or, Rome Was Not Built In A Day : A Classical, And What One May Call A Most Absurdly Ridiculous Burlesque : In One Act : Being An Attempt At Something Founded On Roman History by Thomas Francis Dillon Croker. This one-act burlesque satirizes the founding myth of Rome, presenting a playful theatrical spoof in which a Chorus narrates and punctures history while dramatic scenes unfold. Set in a mock-ancient Rome, the piece interweaves scenes of King Amulius's tyranny, the discovery of Romulus and Remus by Faustulus and the wolf, and the later founding of Rome, all delivered with musical numbers, humor, and meta-theatrical asides about Livy and Doctor Keightley. The text includes a preface dedication, a detailed dramatis personae, stage directions, and multiple songs, parodies of tragedy, and self-referential commentary on historical narrative. It lampoons ambition, power, and the romance of early Roman legend, culminating in a humorous finale that undercuts the grandeur of epic history.
