Here it is, performance weekend! My ancient comedy and performance class is putting on Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae, set in the 1970's at an ERA meeting . . .
The women of Athens are gathered in assembly to discuss how to bring down Euripides who can never seem to stop bashing women in his tragedies.
Comedy ensues when Euripides convinces his Kinsman to infiltrate the meeting dressed in drag.
Disco, cross-dressing, and phalloi abound. I'm a little nervous and excited.
That's the update for me right now. I hope to post pictures and whatnot as soon as they come up.
