"In a town full of mushy old plays, gray as an oyster,
the Tin Ceiling is the seemingly unbreakable pearl hidden inside."

 This farcical modern send up of classic Greek comedies tells the adventures of Hercules and his thoroughly modern friend Jim as they set off on a quest to obtain the Golden Phallus from the mythical Plaid Hermaphrodite. These two "heroes" are helped and hindered by the machinations of both gods and monsters: from a beer swilling, wife-beater wearing Zeus, to an extraordinarily polite tea and crumpets serving Cyclops, to even the writers themselves. This is an adventurous romp filled with raunchy humor that skewers everything from pop culture to the classic myths themselves.
