A son with a gambling problem. Read more …
A father with mounting debt.
A philosophy school for wastrels.
Oh aye, and we’re in ancient Greece!
Inspired by Aristophanes’ The Clouds, this new musical follows Strepsiades and Pheidippides as they attempt to clear their debts. With a little help from Socrates and his beloved Clouds, Pheidippides learns to argue his way out of anything! Will this elevate him to the high life or bring his world crashing down?
If the story of Pheidippides’ getting of wisdom is wafer-thin, and some of the songs distinctly cheesy – in standard 21st century musical style – the detail of the script and lyrics is witty and inspired enough to keep the audience more than entertained.
