Very silly re-telling of CANDIDE, written by a high school drama teacher for his students to perform. Lots of physical comedy, funny asides, puns, nonsense, silly costumes. Admittedly, also a little repetitious, juvenile, and vulgar (like teenagers!) Not right for a full production, but maybe for readers' theater (with a lot of editing to cut it down by half.
