“Who knew frogs could be so mean? Sure, they sang well, and it was kinda funny, but fuck it was bleak!”

The world is on fire, people are dying. There’s war and plague. And cuts to arts funding. It’ll take a miracle to save humanity.

Dionysus, the god of theatre, teams up with his trusty sidekick Xanthias on an odyssey to the Underworld, hoping to resurrect a dead playwright to save the world of the living.

On the road to hell, however, they meet a colony of frogs, not only seemingly happy about the chaos above, but singing show tunes to celebrate.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so damn sad.

This classic of Ancient Greek comedy is given a bold new interpretation in a uniquely Australian voice.
