Subject: RE: BS: Mar 3rd: Lysistrata Peace Project
Actually translated this one from Greek in a college class. Fond memories of the class prude trying to find a polite translation for "fart". She came up with "passed wind" and I almost did laughing. Politically correct Aristophanes!

Mount Holyoke College put on a very interesting updated version about two years ago. Hilariously graphic and bitterly funny. Yes - we have heard of Aristophanes.
