ABE & HIS COCONUTS
MET Artistic Director L. Flint Esquerra helms a script by Benjamin Benedict. Michael Butler, whose credits include “Pope Joan,” the MET Theatre production of “Hair” and the original Broadway production of “Hair,” produces Benedict’s new comedy.
**King Abe Mohammad is the deposed ruler of a Middle Eastern kingdom. One reason his foes are so angry with him is the fact of his unusual heritage: His late father was an Arab monarch, his mother an Israeli Jew. International politics also enters into things, which means it’s about money: He’s one of the richest men in the world, a billionaire.
A beautiful real estate agent finds him a haven in Hawaii. There he will be attended by a harem/staff of beautiful women and an imposing Arab bodyguard. The joint, however, is apparently haunted . . . a ghost story of sorts that lands at the MET Theatre just in time for “Halloween.” There’s plenty of laughs, intrigue, romance and plenty of sex appeal in this comedy about a royal guy with the biggest dreams in the world.**
