LYSTISTRATA
About
Make Love. Not War. A modern take on an ancient Greek tale. The ultimate comedy of sex! Fed up with their men who have been fighting almost continuously in the war between Athens and Sparta for twenty years, Lysistrata organises a sex strike of the women. No peace? No sex! In hilarious scenes rich with bawdy language and action, Aristophanes explores the power struggle that results from the sex strike – and the suffering on both sides as sexual frustration bites! Since their husbands haven’t figured out a solution, the women of Greece - led by the titular Lysistrata - have decided to take matters into their own hands. First performed in 411 BCE, this classic play is Aristophanes’ most popular comedy. Its message of women’s desire for peace – and their conflict with men – still resonates today. Lysistrata is a bold and timeless exploration of gender dynamics and the power of collective action. Through its bawdy and comedic lens, Aristophanes critiques societal norms and challengesDates
