They decide to have a last fling by escaping to Greece, and hopefully, romance and adventure. Brian is also determined to fulfill a cherished dream
When he was a young boy he was cast as "Electra" in a school play, but stage fright caused him to panic and flee the theatre. Now he wants to make amends by speaking the lines at the Acropolis in the moonlight
To do this Brian and Eugene have to break into the grounds of the Acropolis, whereupon their troubles mount when they fear that they may have accidentally killed a guard, and have to go "underground" in Athens without being able to speak the language
Meanwhile their long-suffering wives appear on the scene, adding t the farcical and very funny complications which multiply delightfully until all is set right in the end
An Off-Broadway success, this zany farce follows the hilarious misfortunes of two lifelong pals who try to resolve their midlife crises by abandoning their careers and families and fleeing to romantic Greece
