Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with a tale of mirth and madness from the grand ol’ stage of London! The notorious Elvis Costello, a bard of tunes, and the wily Sarah Ruhl, a weaver of words, have set their sights upon a wickedly clever tale—’tis the musical adaptation of the 1957 film, “Laughter and Fortune.” Aye, 'tis a jolly satire about a scallywag of a hustler who finds himself transformed into a mighty power-hungry TV personality!Picture it, ye landlubbers: A rogue of a character, slicker than a sea serpent, connivin’ and schemin’ his way into the hearts of the masses, all in the name of fame and fortune! The lads and lasses in the audience be in for a rollickin’ good time, as the curtain rises on this raucous romp across the airwaves of deception and ambition. With Costello’s catchy shanties and Ruhl’s clever jests, there’ll be no shortage of laughter, as the tale unfolds like a treasure map leading to the riches of wit!
