SHOW SYNOPSIS AND OUR PRODUCTION
Written by Aristophanes
Adapted by Jeff Marontate
Original Music by James Atin Godden
THE FROGS tells the story of the travels of the god of wine and theatre Dionysus and his trusty servant Xanthias as they head into the Underworld to retrieve a poet who will use their skills to save the world. Along the way they encounter Hercules, Hades, Persephone and a gaggle of monstrous undead souls, as well as a Greek Chorus of singing Frogs. THE FROGS was written by Aristophanes, and has been adapted by director Jeff Marontate, who previously adapted Lysistrata and The Birds for Korda. Original music is by Second City composer James Atin-Godden.
“A riotous, laugh-out-loud buddy comedy that doubles as the ultimate ancient precursor to the modern roast battle… Packed with slapstick… and biting fourth-wall breaks that make the 405 BC text feel as relevant as today’s late-night TV.” – Antler Flax Book Reviews
“The heavy, philosophical sparring match between the poets proves that Aristophanes loved a good literary debate just as much as he loved a dirty joke.” – Mirabile Dictu Review
“A fever dream of a play that includes metatheatre, modern absurdities… and a relentless barrage of jokes.” – The Cheese Grater Magazine.
“The Frogs embraces two transcendent issues: the decline of Athens as a great power… and the decline of tragedy as a great form of art.” – Goodreads Classical Commentary
