play the part of Socrates in a theater

Yes, where he takes Aristophanes out to the woodshed. These dialogues could be definitely be staged. Are you aware of anybody who has done this?

I'd love to see Gorgias staged. It is definitely an extraordinary work of dramatic art.... especially when Miletus starts making veiled threats at Socrates at the end, or when Polis is making an ass of himself (sort of like a character out of Moliere, as for instance, from "The Physician in Spite of Himself," or "Tartuffe.")
