Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
After The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams went on to create Dirk Gently, a detective with a belief in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, a unique relationship with the laws of probability, and a love of cats and pizza. In Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency, Dirk finds himself on the trail of a gruesome murderer who is somehow involved with the works of Coleridge, quantum physics, and the enigmatic study of the Cambridge Professor of Chronology. Ultimately, the stakes of the case are far greater than a single murder, but go to the fate of life on Earth. Confused? Dont be everything is connected.

Infidel, The
Synopsis:
Based on David Baddiel's smash hit movie of the same name, this hilarious and heart-warming tale is the ultimate identity crisis comedy. East End Muslim Mahmoud is an ordinary family man whose life is turned upside down when he discovers that not only is he adopted, but that his birth parents are Jewish. The resulting cultural and religious chaos leads to an uproarious and insightful comedy about race, prejudice, confusion and what it really means to be yourself.
Notes:
book and lyrics by David Baddiel and music by Erran Baron Cohen. Additional material by Arvind Ethan David based on screenplay by David baddiel
