A panorama of Aristophariic comedy written and produced by Louis MacNeice
Music by Antony Hopkins
This programme pays homage to a master of mockery and fantasy; illustrating his genius with scenes from most of his extant plays, including The Wasps, The Clouds, Peace, The Birds, and Lysistrata. From these emerge some striking parallels to our modern world. Aristophanes wrote most of his comedies during a bitter war, and remained throughout an enemy of cant, stupidity, and selfish imperialism
