Aristophanes at Spetses , Lisistrata p.1

Theatre performance by the team of University of Detroit Mercy at Anargiros Schools. With permission by the team.

Adaptor & Director A. Beer

Aristophanic comedy is a violatile blend of dirty jokes, topical political satire, personal slander, irrevence, slapstic, musical comedy, poetry, and mad invention that haw prowed to be too strong a concoction for any audiences since his own time. Only very liberal states and cultures have attempted to reveve it, and usually in carefully sanitized versions....
... each character each situation each joke in the present version has counterpart in the original but in keeping with the author;s own method, the references are to the life of our time.
To those who find the scatological language or sexual by-play offensive, I can only report that I have turned down... and apologize for my residual pritanism.
