A man discovers a lost manuscript for a play. He gives it to his coworker to hold on to, but she loses it. She calls upon Greek Gods to help her. Dionysus and Thalia come to help her, but things don’t go very smoothly. 

Ken Ludwig has written a very funny farce. It’s old-fashioned and family friendly. It was first produced as a co-production between McCarter Theatre Center for the Performing Arts (Princeton, NJ) and The Old Globe Theatre (San Diego) in 2019. 

Brennan Kelleher is hilarious in his many roles, always very cheeky and often stealing the show. Alexandra Ficken is so charming as the bookish coworker very focused on finding the manuscript. Brad Raymond and Kate Fahrner are both so funny and exuberant as the gods. They have great chemistry together. Rachel Frawley, Christopher Hampton, and Suzanne Roush are solid in their supporting roles.
