KEN LUDWIG has had a number of hits on Broadway, in London and throughout the world His work has been performed in over 30 countries in at least 20 languages. Lend Me A Tenor is his best known play, followed by Crazy For You, Moon Over Buffalo, Twentieth Century, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Mr. Ludwig was commissioned by England's Royal Shakespeare Company, for which he wrote the comedy Shakespeare In Hollywood which went on to win the Helen Hayes Award as Best New Play of the Year. His latest plays include Leading Ladies (which he also directed); Be My Baby; an adaptation of The Three Musketeers commissioned by Bristol Old Vic; an adaptation of Treasure Island; and The Beaux' Stratagem. His newest musical is An American in Paris.

It's September 1934, and Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is primed to welcome world famous tenor Tito Morelli, to appear for one night only as Otello. The star arrives late and, through a hilarious series of mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers, passes out, and is presumed dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening, Saunders persuades his assistant to go on instead. A sensation on Broadway and in London's West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
