The Greek Kalends (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Laughing at human folly, this brisk ensemble comedy uses sharp wit to sketch a city in flux and a town’s attempt to rebuild itself.

Set among a chorus of neighbors, merchants, lovers, and would‑be leaders, the play follows a day of political talk, pranks, and quarrels that spirals into a citywide upheaval. As the crowd’s passions flare, unexpected alliances form and a clever plan for renewal emerges, led by a cautious voice of reason.

• Witty, ensemble-driven dialogue that gleams with humor and social insight.


• A vivid cast of townsfolk, from demagogues to scheming spouses to patient mediators.


• A satirical look at governance, class tension, and how communities recover after upheaval.


• A hopeful pivot toward teamwork and practical rebuilding, rather than endless conflict.
