Description
Assemblywomen is a modern adaptation of an Ancient Greek comedy, featuring cross-dressing, confusion and chaos. The women of Athens stage a political takeover, disguising themselves as men and implementing an outlandish new system across the city. Their husbands stuck at home, are left to deal with the farcical consequences. The play follows the Athenians as they come to terms with the women’s rule, getting into a series of daft situations along the way. Updated and performed by students, with a unique blend of political commentary and risqué humour, this timeless classic isn’t one to miss!Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

I thought the show was enjoyable, the final scene was particularly funny. Worth a watch if you want to see a well done Greek comedy.

As someone unfamiliar with classical Greek plays, I really enjoyed this performance. It was funny, relevant and delivered in a fashion that made it totally understandable. Well done to everyone involved.
