Publisher's Synopsis
Menander, the master of New Comedy, with a little help from Aristophanes, the master of Old Comedy, learns about the history of ancient Greek comedy in the form of a short new comedy complete with romance, mistaken identities, crusty hicks, trickster servants and profoundly unhelpful deities. Originally produced for the San Antonio Museum of Art's Greek and Roman Family Day. Also included are: The 27 Minute Odyssey, a short theatrical adaptation of The Odyssey for children and discerning adults. The 15 Minute Odyssey, an even shorter adaptation of The Odyssey of Homer for children with shorter attention spans and adults of a similar inclination. Aristophanes' Mooks, a modern translation and adaptation of the lost play Mookoi by Aristophanes.
