Lysistrata: A Woman's Translation
About
Theatre Onset brings a bawdy comic play from Ancient Greece to the Bega Valley. Lysistrata: A Woman’s Translation by Drue Robinson, is based on Aristophanes' classic Greek comedy play, Lysistrata.Lysistrata, an Athenian woman fed up with war, rallies together the women of Greece to seize
the Treasury, stage a sex strike, and force the men of each warring faction to sign a truce. This
makes for a fast-paced and bawdy affair, including the pompous Magistrate’s antics of male
domination and the celibacy-sworn Myrrhine’s relentless teasing of her sex-starved, phallus
laden husband. Meanwhile, the Chorus of Old Women and the Chorus of Old Men square off in
a hilarious battle of wits and guts, ultimately resulting in a reunion of genders, ages and political
positions.
The play is directed by Mahamati and features a large cast of local actors of all ages.
Theatre Onset invites you to experience this bawdy, irreverent and very naughty play at the old Uniting Church, Gipps St, Bega, with performances running from 20 to 29 March.
There is no coarse language but an enormous amount of innuendo, sexual jokes and comic
violence so best if youth are over 17 to attend.
