Aristophanes, often referred to as the Father of Comedy, wrote the world’s earliest surviving comic dramas. They’re stuffed full of parodies, songs, sexual jokes and surreal fantasy -- and they’ve shaped how comedy’s been written and performed ever since. Mark Robinson shares a brief history of Aristophanes.
