The Script

http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/aristophanes/birds.htm

Above is the script for The Birds. It was translated by Ian Johnston of Malaspina University-College, Nanaimo, BC. It's important to have the script, and I prefer mine in Ebook format, because...How else does one research a play without it? Assumedly, anyone working on the play would have read it but just incase I've decided to imput a brief summary of the show.

Pisthetaerus, an Athenian, gets the world's birds to build a new city in the sky. Pisthetaerus wants to gain control over all communications between men and the gods. He gets transformed into a bird-like being and, with the help of the birds, and with the advice of Prometheus, Pisthetaerus soon replaces Zeus as the pre-eminent power in the cosmos.
