Aristophanes' Women In Congress
by Jules Tasca
Synopsis
Hilarious version of Aristophanes' Greek classic.
Praxagora, the leader of the women of Athens, plots to take over the government which is run by men and replace it with a new order run by women.
Praxagora has the women of Athens dress up as men and vote in congress to turn over the reins of leadership to the women.
When this measure is passed, the women unanimously vote Praxagora in as the Chief Executrix.
Praxagora and the women then proceed to turn the Greek world topsy turvy legislating free love, male female role reversal and a communistic utopia that brings on the unlikely proceedings to a funny festive conclusion.
