Hecate's thoroughly modern Frogs follows the god of drama, Dionysus, down into the Underworld to find the greatest writer who ever lived. Whereas the original text features Greek playwrights, Charles Scherer's script includes a literary smack-down between William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, while Sara...
