London: Heinemann Educational Books Ltd.. Very Good-. 1979. First Edition. Softcover. [some visible wear along edges and spine, short diagonal crease at top corner of rear cover]. Trade PB INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the playwright on the half-title page: "for ___ & _____ / with love from / Caroline / Christmas 1981." (Also laid in is a Christmas card from the playwright, with a brief note to the recipients.) "A free adaptation of Aristophanes' comedy which follows the spirit of the original but is far more than a mere translation. It is a light-hearted play with plenty of action, humour, and a happy ending! The cast can number as few as forty or as many as a hundred, and there are opportunities for musicians, dancers and gymnasts to do their star turns. The costumes and props are equally flexible; they can be improvised very simply or be spectacularly elaborate. The play provides plenty of scope for the imagination and is great fun, both for the cast and the audience." Signed by Author .
