THE PLAY.​

written and performed by AUSTIN HOWETH and LUKE MANUAL

Dingbat’s Hercules is a fast-paced and chaotic “Greek Mythology for Dummies” seminar turned comedy of god-like proportions. Playwrights, Austin Howeth and Luke Manual, also appear in the two-person show as themselves. They hilariously retell the Greek myth of “Heracles” by portraying all the gods, goddesses, and monsters along the way. The plot follows Heracles as he completes twelve impossible labors including defeating the Hydra, capturing the three-headed guard dog of the Underworld, and battling the Amazons. However, tensions rise between the performers as creative differences seep into their performance in an increasingly embarrassing fashion.

CONTENT WARNING: If Dingbat's Hercules were a film it would be rated PG-13, The production contains profanity, innuendo, and general crassness.
