Asterix Gliaire

The Romans capture the Gaulish village bard, Dándírix, and send him in chains to Rome – which riles the Gauls no end. Asterix and Obelix head for Rome to rescue Dándírix, but finding the bard in the city is no mean task — he’s under lock and key at the Circus Maximus, condemned to be thrown to the lions. Asterix and Obelix can only reach their bard by becoming gladiators. Faced with a crowd-filled circus, will our heroes suffer from stagefright?
