FARCE. Poor Hades! Being the god of the underworld stinks! Hades is lonely, but the girls aren’t exactly dying to go out with him. After all, it’s difficult to find a girl who likes to live in damp, dark places and hang out with dead people all the time. And Hades doesn’t want to just settle down with any girl like Arachne, who has been turned into a spider, or the snake-haired Medusa, who turns a man to stone if he looks at her. To help Hades find a wife, Zeus elicits the help of Aphrodite and her son, Cupid. The only problem is that Cupid is a horrible archer with extremely bad aim. There’s plenty of Greek “drama” in this rollicking romp!
