A comedy written in 405 b.c. by Aristophanes. Freely adapted by Burt Shevelove and even more freely adapted by Nathan Lane with Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Can art save civilisation? Lets find out! Shaken by a divided and despairing political climate (sound familiar?), Dionysos and trusty sidekick Xanthias take a leap of faithstraight into Hades. Their mission? Find a cure for an ailing world. But when they reach the River Styx, they encounter Dionysos worst nightmare frogs. Not your average pond dwellers, these amphibians are stubborn beings who resist change and are determined for the status quo to remain the same (sound familiar?) Will our dynamic duo outsmart these swampy naysayers and hop toward humanitys salvation? Or will they get bogged down in their muddy resistance? This is an ancient tale retold as a laugh-a-minute musical comedy. From the writing team behind A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Broadway legend Nathan Lane, The Frogs promises a toad-ally unforgettable journey. The Grey Area are thrilled to be bringing another lesser known Stephen Sondheim show to Southwark Playhouse after their hit production of Anyone Can Whistle.
