​Saving the Greeks:
​One Tragedy at a Time

Comedy
80-95 minutes
12-26 actors possible


In an ambitious plan to bring peace to Ancient Greece, Dialysis and Peon create Betterland, a city where once-doomed tragic characters can start a better life. But this new society of refugees must face enemies and Gods who don't tolerate free will or utopian ideals. Weaving together the stories of Ancient Greek characters from Oedipus to Hercules, this hilarious reinvention of the classics asks the question, "Is it possible to escape your own fate?" (A 
one-act version of this play is also available.) Published by Playscripts.

"A thoroughly enjoyable script filled with droll witticisms, amusing one-liners, and groaning wordplay... a breezy comedy full of laugh-out-loud merriment that pays homage to the melodramatic absurdity that is Greek tragedy."

Travel around the world and explore forgotten myths and unusual legends in eight fast-paced and hilarious tales!

Always quirky, and sometimes bizarre, these eight tales are filled with magic, mystery, and morals. Published by Playscripts.
