Notes:

Original Playwright - Aristophanes. http://www.tutato.com/tuta.php?action=birds

Synopsis:

BIRDS was presented in 414 BC. In the previous year, Athens captured an island city, Melia, after a long siege. The Athenians put all the men of military age to death and sold the women and children into slavery. Later that year, the Athenians decided to launch an expedition to Sicily after a vigorous debate. The debate ended with those who opposed the expedition becoming afraid to speak out for fear of being called unpatriotic. The outcome of the expedition in Sicily was still in doubt when Aristophanes wrote BIRDS. It had ended in disaster before he wrote his next extant play, LYSISTRATA.
A Note on the Transposition: Most versions Aristophanes plays which I have read have worked more as literature for reading than as plays for performing. For that reason, I think it's fair to say that someone who works in theater may possess certain advantages in rendering an English-language version of BIRDS which a Greek scholar does not necessarily have simply by virtue of reading Ancient Greek. My job as I see it has been to transpose a play set for an alien theatrical tradition into a new setting, that of our own tradition. Like a musician transposing a piece from one instrument to another, I hope to find a vital new sonority without losing the vigor of the original.
