CLASSIC STAGE COMPANY presents TARGET MARGIN THEATER'S production of
OLD COMEDY AFTER ARISTOPHANES' FROGS
By DAVID GREENSPAN Directed by DAVID HERSKOVITS Original Music by THOMAS CABANISS
Athens 405...New York 2008. In one era, out another. Get yourself a poet for chrissake!
NOW CLOSED
"Greenspan’s sardonic
jokes rarely stop, reaching out in
all directions. The multiple
explosions of his mad string of
intellectual firecrackers prove that
American Theater still has plenty of
resourcefulness left." Old Comedy “is what theatergoers sacrifice bulls and burn incense for: a dizzily intelligent, furiously hilarious political spoof.” – TIME OUT “A brash, ribald vision, one that draws blunt parallels between the decline of Athens as witnessed by Aristophanes and what Mr. Greenspan sees as the end of the American era. And sometimes it’s quite funny.”– NEW YORK TIMES
An Essay by the Playwright, David Greenspan

Greenspan adapted Aristotle's Poetics last season for the critically acclaimed production of The Argument, and was commissioned by Target Margin Theater to adapt Aristophanes' Frogs for the final production of TMT's two-season exploration of Classical Greek Literature. * * * * * For updates on performance schedules, tickets and more, make sure you're on our mailing list! |
