#BostonWeekend 29/x EDIT jk, i went here, instead! I've got guests in town this weekend & this is extremely my jam, but not theirs, please go, its weird theatre, near home, and free:
Sun #THEATRE: #AncientGreece x #Hitchcock x #60sRock - “Attack of the Byrds! a verse play by Gary Duehr adapted from “The Birds” by Aristophanes, will be presented as a reading on Sunday, August 10, from 3-4:30.
The reading is free and open to the public. The reading features original songs by Jane Burgess Harcourt, sung by Suzanne Boucher and accompanied by Peter Hoffman on guitar. This version mashes up the classic #Greek comedy with “The #Birds” by Hitchcock and songs inspired by the ’60s band the #Byrds. In rhymed #tetrameter couplets, the brisk verse punches up its wordplay. This adaptation uses the masks and puppets of a traveling theater troupe to tell the fantasy infused with political satire.” https://artsathearmory.org/events/attack-of-the-byrds/ #Aristophanes #AncientGreek #ClassicalStudies #Comedy #BostonTheatre #TheBirds #TheByrds

I saw the wolf out on the ice,
And as he looked me in the eye
The sky was closing in. The night
Was cold, and I was getting scared
That nobody’d remember me
When I was dead and gone, so I
Determined that the course of action
Best for such a situation
Wouldn’t be to idly stand
And take it, or to sit and freeze,
And so I got down on my knees
And prayed for godly intervention,
But quickly lost my concentration
As the beast bit me in the face.
