Description

The Theater Group Eros Ammochostos in cooperation with the Association of Graduates of the Drama School "Vladimiros Kafkarides" presents a modern adaptation of Aristophanes' comedy Ecclesiazusae.

Aristophanes' Ecclesiazusae (translated as Assemblywomen, Congresswomen, Women in Parliament, Women in Power, and A Parliament of Women) is a play dating from 391 BC which is similar in theme to Lysistrata in that a large portion of the comedy comes from women involving themselves in politics. This play is much more infused with gender issues than Lysistrata is.

Adaptation / Direction: Giorgos Muaimis
