Author Description

Determined to leave the scheming and conniving in Athens behind them, two wealthy Athenians set out to look for a quieter life outside the city. Arriving in the realm of birds, they devise a cunning plan that will allow them to rule the world together with the birds. Even though the original play is by Aristophanes and is almost 2500 years old, the self-serving politicians, controlling gatekeepers, and con artists in this play should be recognizable to a modern audience!
