I just read this play today in my own spare time. I was curious to see if anyone had performed it. To my great delight, here you have it! And with pretty good acting too. No two-bit school players doing it either. I also like how the script has been refitted to modern day. It must have taken a considerable amount of work to rework it all to fit into modern pop culture, as most of the characters and references are unkown to modern audiences. Bravo, sir bravo.

'General' Rumsfeld (our modern parallel to the ancient Athenian, Lamachus) arrives, amidst his own pomp and circumstance, answering a call to censure the protagonist Justin Cittee. Justin, in trouble for having established his own "no-war-zone', mocks the government's hawk with his own brand of humor.
