Frogs

A play by Aristophanes

"Now stir up your voices, and let's hear the song. May our revels begin and go on all night long."

Synopsis

A rowdy, bawdy romp through the underworld, Frogs is a celebration of humor and a poignant examination of the purpose of art. Inventing what would become the finest traditions of modern comedy, Aristophanes brings to life characters that belong in the same breath as the Three Stooges, Mel Brooks and Looney Tunes. A night of original music, jokes and capable storytelling, Frogs flexes FLT's theatrical muscles in a comedy event 2,500 years in the making.

"Although only in its second production, Fault Line, through ambition, talent and dare I say a dramaturg, is taking some old routines and never failing as the first line of Frogs goes..."

"I couldn't stop laughing although I was biting my lip in two..."

"The Fault Lines' Frogs. I'm mad for it." Read all >

Our Mission

The core of Fault Line Theatre is the text.

We convert the potential energy of a playwright’s words into action, creating productions that engage and inspire.

We strive to understand and transmit a story from within the text. We shear the unnecessary and seek the essential. We aim to show, not tell; to entertain, not lecture.

Fault Line Theatre is a collaborative group of artists dedicated to producing plays, classical and modern, that we love. We invite you to love them as much as we do.
