FUNNY. Even after 2000 plus years! Lots of references that require endnotes, but if you can get past that - really enjoyable! Must have been such fun to watch back in the day when all of the references were contemporary.

5 stars for Birds, which is hilariously mock-tragic and gloriously silly.
5 stars for Lysistrata, which is much more ribald, but still is at least mock-serious and quite funny.
3 stars for Assembly-Woman, which is a little too much slapstick and poop jokes. Maybe it's that Praxagora disappears for a while; she starts off as promising as Lysistrata but then sort of fades away.
4 stars for Wealth, which has its good parts (Poverty's arguments, Wealth's overall wimpiness), but also has a little too much low humor without enough higher points.
