From the charismatic use of a classic Greek chorus to women wielding frying pans and spatulas in order to take over the treasury, if you are in need of a good laugh, this is the production for you! Robert M. Coles’ adaptation is well done, tastefully honoring Aristophanes’ original content while adding a modern flare that allows audiences to connect in new ways to a timeless story.

Every audience member was treated to different aspects of the various tableaus of this show depending on where they were sitting. I wish that I had the time to see this production again just so that I could sit in a different section of the audience each time to experience the magic from new angles.

On a chilly night in January, this production was a wonderful balm to the soul.

If the excellence and attention to detail that Mr. Weidman and his creative team have given to this debut production is any indication of what’s to come, I am beyond excited by what will be next for The Next Chapter Actors.
