THE
ACHARNIANS
by Aristophanes, adapted by Karin Shook with Kerstin Broockmann. Subtitled
"One Man's Private Peace During the Compassionately Conservative Bombing
Campaign on Canada, the Adventures that Befell Him Thereafter, and What
Jesus and the Tooth Fairy Had to Say About It All, this
sharp, political, and still-relevant-2500-years-later anti-war comedy
shows how little we learn from history. Three actors with masks, puppets
and phalluses use commedia dell'arte techiniques to put the appropriate
outrageous spin on the presidency, the military, the oil industry, bio-engineering,
organized religion, and any other easy targets that we could fit into
an hour.
