Athens, collapsing under the weight of the Peloponnesian War and culturally starving since the last great playwright, Euripides, kicked the bucket, desperately needs a hero. Enter the God of Theatre, Dionysus, and his slacker slave sidekick, Xanthias. Together, they set off on a suicidal mission to the Land of the Dead, aiming to drag Euripides—hailed as the ‘greatest playwright ever’—back to life and save the city. Blocking their way are not only strange monsters and awkward complications to their mortality, but also inflation-induced travel costs, grumpy locals, and another great rival playwright convinced they, not Euripides, should be the real saviour of Athens. Oh, and then there’s the frogs...

It’s a road trip to hell and back. Will Athens find its the saviour ? Or is the comedy all that we really need?
