After making a disturbing discovery about her seemingly perfect husband, Cass sets forth on an adventure to Niagara Falls in a quest to find herself and the meaning of Life. Along the way, she meets a suicidal alcoholic with a giant pickle barrel, a strange pair of elderly honeymooners, and Captain Mike, the navigator on The Maid of the Mist who just may be the man Cass was actually meant to marry. David Lindsay-Abaire's hilarious and touching play about flight, fate and the pursuit of happiness takes us on a wild ride we will not soon forget.

Quoted:
In A PERFECT GANESH the quest for meaning in their lives leads two middle-aged women on a pilgrimage through India, each with her own secret dreams of what the fabled land of intoxicating opposites will do to heal the suffering that each hides within. McNally's profoundly satisfying modern American classic brings to life both a dark exotic setting and a moving inner landscape of emotions, hopes, and lost dreams. We hope you'll journey with us to explore this amusing, affecting and compassionate drama.
