Description

By Aristophanes
Neos Kosmos Theatre, Greece
Direction: Vangelis Theodoropoulos
Praxagora: Daphne Lamprogianni
Blepyrus: Kostas Koklas
Chremes: Pantelis Dentakis

What would happen in a city if all citizens had communal property rights and a «communal bed»? Would a law which demands that no man may sleep with a pretty young woman unless he first sleeps with an old ugly one, be fair? The women of Athens, under the leadership of Praxagora, certainly thought so! Disguised as men, they appear in the Assembly, where they support the transfer of power to women. They win and hence everything seems to be possible! This joyful comedy unfolds a series of hilarious scenes and ends with an invitation to a communal dinner and merry-making.
