Adapted by David Stuttard after Aristophanes and directed by Mitch Mitchelson, this production is a hilariously funny, highly accessible, no-nonsense approach to the contemporary staging of a classical text.

Reviews
“A slick, hilariously funny show which rattles along at high speed on the strength of fine ensemble work from its cast”. The Stage
“Thanks to the Actors of Dionysus for a glorious evening: an uproarious, raunchy, rumbustious romp – larger than life, on every front!” East Oxford Community Classics Centre
“Excellent! I was centre of front row and in pain from laughing! Converted husband to Greek comedy!” Helen King
