In 1997 the classics department of the University of Edinburgh put on the play The Poet and The Women.

The Poet and the Women is one of eleven surviving plays by Aristophanes. It was first produced in 411 BCE, probably at the City Dionysia.  It is now considered one of Aristophanes' most brilliant parodies of Athenian society, with a particular focus on the subversive role of women in a male-dominated society, the vanity of contemporary poets, such as the tragic playwrights Euripides and Agathon, and the shameless, enterprising vulgarity of an ordinary Athenian, as represented in this play by the protagonist, Mnesilochus. The play is also notable for Aristophanes' free adaptation of key structural elements of Old Comedy and for the absence of the anti-populist and anti-war comments that pepper his earlier work.[
