Lester, or Doniel Lesterovirch, is the everyman of Jewish elementary school age kids. He's not looking for trouble but trouble sure finds him - a whole lot of it. While directing his school's Purim play, Lester gets a knock on the head from a fallen box of puffy paint and falls unconscious - and into another world. Suddenly, he finds himself in the middle of the feast of King Achashverosh, and through a case of 'mistaken' identity, it is Lester who is asked to go summon queen Vashti to the party! Lester is so convincing that Vashti actually decides to go - and by the time Lester realizes what's happened it's too late... a whole new plot has been set in motion. Vashti is not killed, there is no search for a new queen so Esther never comes to the palace, and that leaves nobody to save the Jews from evil Haman! Amidst foot-stomping catchy original songs and a hilarious subplot involving Bigsan and Seresh's murder schemes, Lester runs all over Shushan trying to stay out of Haman's way and set the Purim story back on track.
