In this contemporary reading directed by Vangelis Theodoropoulos, the Neos Kosmos Theatre explores the issue of women’s rule and revels in the theater inherent in the exchanging of gender roles.
If Aristophanes were alive today, would he still hand over the affairs of state to its women, as he once proposed, in 392 BC, when his city, Athens, was defeated and in decline?
