Ken Ludwig has had a number of hits on Broadway, in London and throughout the world. His work

followed by "Crazy For You", "Moon Over Buffalo", "Twentieth Century" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer".
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".
Two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they
are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of
Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune
to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and
get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren´t
nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat
in love with the old lady´s vivacious niece, Meg, who´s engaged to the local minister. Meg
knows that there´s a wide world out there, but it´s not until she meets "Maxine and Stephanie"
that she finally gets a taste of it.
