Me after reading this play and being in love with every aspect of it and how it portrays women assuming the "supposed" roles of men without even lifting a finger, beautifully :
I have to say I was expecting a completely boring play that seemed to go on and on but boy oh boy was I in for a treat! This play was funny and lewd as hell and completely timeless. It is a really quick read and you will not waste your time if you decide to read it. On my damn word.

Aristophanes would've loved the barbie movie. Our classical feminist xx
Quotes:
- “No man is ever going to get satisfaction if the woman doesn’t choose that he should.”
- “Take this basket
And not one word more;
Hitch your robe up, chew beans, and card wool all the day,
And women will deal with the war!”
- “And please don’t look on me with prejudice:
My gender has no bearing on the question
Whether I’m offering you a good suggestion.”

Basically a No Nut November/edging, not great not terrible, great use of Czech and Slovak language as a distinction between Sparta and Athens, would probably be funnier if seen irl
