In a fantastic "leveling" of time, Aristophanes gives a modern journalist an interview about the work, era, and themes of his surviving comedies.

Q: Aristos, if you were writing about theater today, what topic would you choose?
A: The media. Because they contribute to the formation of public opinion and thus to the rise of incompetent leaders due to their influence.
Q: Would you write tragedies?
A: No. I would do what I know well. I would write comedies about the behavior of modern Greeks, which is created by easy wealth, rural wealth, and the poor education that society and your schools give you. And I would write about the lack of leaders.
I chose (he says later) to present "Plutus" in a fantastic modern CAP for it is always relevant, does not require much mobility, and requires few actors. In old age, memorization is more difficult, so I shortened the original roles a bit.
