A local theater company in the Chicagoland suburbs is performing Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, the Play. Once I knew it existed I had to see it. Though the play itself has its disconnects, the performance of the cast was outstanding. Any fan of Douglas Adams needs to see this and should start following a random stranger because you just might end up there.
