  The Wasps

  Aristophanes

  In The Wasps, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes delivers a sharp and humorous critique of Athenian society, focusing on the jury system and the older generation’s obsession with power. The play centers on Philocleon ("Cleon-lover"), an elderly man addicted to serving as a juror—and thus indirectly supporting the corrupt politician Cleon—whom his son Bdelycleon tries to reform and keep at home. Much of the comedy arises from the absurd clash between father and son, including a farcical courtroom trial of a dog accused of theft. Through satire, slapstick, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes mocks the judicial system’s susceptibility to abuse, the gullibility of jurors, and the challenges of generational conflict. Combining humor with incisive political criticism, The Wasps remains a brilliant reflection on justice, civic duty, and the folly of blind loyalty.

   Your charismatic narrator, Alexandra LaPierre-Menard, unfolds the family's adventurous reunion to the keen pen of Gracie Buckhalter with a Southern charm that's as enticing as a sweet summer breeze. As the tale unwinds, you'll dance to the beat of the South, if only momentarily, amidst laughter, camaraderie, and a sprinkle of good ol' mischief. 
  Meet the tale-weavers of the LaPierre-Menard lineage as they reminisce about the indomitable Dolice Marie and Jean Pierre LaPierre, the tender matriarch Mama Mozelle, the infamous Madam Frou-Frous, the mystical allure of voodoo priestess MamaDel, and a life-altering encounter with a tall, red-headed Canadian named Menard.
