We begin the season with quite possibly the funniest play written in the past 30 years. Playwright Ken Ludwig has the amazing ability to write in a style that is both reminiscent of the 1930s and distinctly modern at the same time. The result in Lend Me a Tenor is frenzied hilarity, filled with mistaken identities, forbidden romances, slamming doors, and a coterie of characters that the New York Times calls “one of the two great farces by a living writer.”
