Lyrics

Pluto!
That's my name!
Pluto, oh god of the underworld, uncle on my father's side, I am Dionysos
Dionysos, Zeus's boy! Your mother was Semele, the daughter of Cadmus
Aw, you know the entire family!
So, what brings you to Hades?
I'd like to meet George Bernard Shaw
What a coincidence, he's right inside! He's banqueting with me. All the playwrights are here tonight: Chekov, Ibsen, Shakespeare...
(gasp) Shakespeare? What is he like?
Not at all what you'd expect. Uh...shorter
Hm. And Ibsen?
There's a strange one. You either love him, or you hate him. But, come on in, join us. See for yourself!
While we're eating, the Dionysians have something to tell all of you out there. This is called the parabasis of the play. I know, it's all Greek to me too
