Rome, the capital of Italy, is one of the most popular city break holiday destinations for Brits. Those lucky enough to be seeking holiday deals in the city for July will have the chance to view a new Miracle Players theatre production at the Roman Forum, offering a different take on the life of Michelangelo.

Miracle Players performs every summer in the Roman Forum and is an English-speaking troupe of actors. For this new production, the troupe has said Michelangelo is: “a man so famous that he doesn’t need his surname to define him, a bit like Cher, although without the hair.”

The production lasts 40 minutes with just four actors offering quirky acts showing the famous and significant moments of Michelangelo’s life, the artist renowned the world over for his sculpture David and his painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

The performance is running every Friday until the 7th August at the Roman Forum behind the Capitoline Square, one of Rome’s most famous tourist attractions and the place that was the centre of the great civilisation centuries before.

The opportunity to take a city break to Rome is one not to be passed up.
