Life in a soap opera meets life in a New York penthouse, resulting in a lampoon with wild madness. Crusty Horatio Tucker, sponsor of TV's most popular soap, receives a mysterious note saying the clue to his killer will be found in the next episode. He invites the cast to his place and forces them to act out the episode. Soon there's murder and chaos. A nasty network executive is dead and so is Dr. Rittenhouse. Then, Tucker is dispatched via chicken soup from the soap's saintly mother character. With characters slipping in and out of their roles and plastic surgeons, welfare cheaters, theatrical hams and assorted zanies running loose the action is alive with marvelous surprises, gags and delightful dialogue.

What do you do when you're a Classics professor at one of the greatest universities in America and find a long-lost manuscript by Euripides that will make you famous throughout the world? You lose it, of course. And then you call on the Ancient Greek Gods of Comedy to get you out of the mess. For younf professor Daphne Rain, the first surprise is that the gods show up. And the second surprise is that any two people- even if they are gods- can wreak so much havoc on one university.

(Also plays the role of: Fred, Young Scrooge, Peter Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Yet to

Come (I) and Old Joe)

a Dickens after all.

(Also plays the role of: Bob Cratchit, The Ghost of Christmas Past, Topper, The Thin

Man and The Undertaker)

A painter, famous for both his theatrical scene painting and naval genre pictures.

Charles Dickens young niece. Already a quick mind.

Man with the Handkerchief and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (II)

Editor and writer. Dicken’s closest friend and advisor. He’s the only person in whom

Dickens confided the painful story of his time in the blacking warehouse. He is in many

ways Dickens’s opposite: though given to occasional fits of joviality, he is by nature gruff

and taciturn. It takes an evening such as this one to reveal that other side.
