Drowning Aristotle

DROWNING Aristotle was disgustingly funny, witty, and, being full of sexual innuendo, is definitely only fit for an adult audience.

The story of Salford girl Jane, played by the writer of the piece Melanie Rees and Greek philosopher Aristotle, played by Rod Tame, is not an obvious pairing. 

They met in the local pub and Jane falling for Aristotle hook, line and sinker proclaimed her undying love for him, her sister on the other hand was not entirely convinced. 

Jane can only be described as “gagging for it” and in her bid to win over one of the founding fathers of western philosophy, took an interest in his work eventually forcing him into the act which led to his demise.

Aristotle, aloof with ideas and his head in the clouds, drowned in womankind doing something a couple should never usually do in front of an audience.   

The story was well put together and written entirely in verse which must have been a challenge, but the resulting comic tale was wonderfully entertaining and intelligent and far, far too sexy.
