I have been thinking about this overnight and although very cheeky and definitely not Frogs but I thought I’d share a post I did a couple of years ago where I suggest the audience may have been stunned into a moment of ‘tumbleweed and croaking frogs’ silence by the textual interplay and memory - I hope you don’t mind

Obviously, I know nothing about all this, but I completely understand the fascination. As with Art, after decades of thinking I loved it, I discovered that, actually, what I really love are the stories about the lives of the artists. Hence my amusement at this.

Adore this thank you and a reminder that my MA tutor’s PhD thesis was the palimpsestuous relationship between Aristophanes and Euripides - if I may be so bold https://kar.kent.ac.uk/86521
