How to get there
"[An] antertaining production [that] strides strongly and confidently forward, overflowing with astute silliness and witty solidness as they travel with a lightness of foot alongside the sharpest of deliveries."
––Front Mezz Junkies
This boisterously hilarious, yet poignant musical follows Dionysos, Greek god of wine and drama, and his slave, Xanthias, on a journey to Hades to collect renowned critic and playwright, George Bernard Shaw, so that he may enlighten the easily misled and coerced masses of Earth. Along this journey, Dionysus and Xanthias meet Chekhov, Congreve, Ibsen, Brecht and, of course, the chorus of frogs. Then, Shakespeare shows up and starts declaiming his greatest hits; before long, he engages in a battle of words with Mr. Shaw. Who will win the honor of becoming reincarnated: The Bard or Bernard?
